They think they can replace China and other countries that are dealing with tariffs.

And I never heard those two countries were at war.

STOP GASLIGHTING US! He will never win the Nobel Peace Prize. Saying it’s so doesn’t make it so. Worming his way in on manufactured agreements is FAKE! He only swoops in for photo ops.

14. Border/Temple dispute
Sun Oct 26, 2025, 06:03 PM

The fundamental issue is that the current 730-kilometer-long border, defined in 1907 by the placement of only 73 border markers, leaves the exact border location open to interpretation.
So far this year, Cambodia has suffered at least one hundred dead soldiers and civilians. Actual casualties may be several times higher. With all the shooting between soldiers and armed civilians, it is difficult to obtain accurate casualty figures. Thai forces, better trained, organized, and led, experience far fewer casualties. So far, Thailand has reported about 300 killed or wounded, mostly military personnel, with approximately fifty civilians killed or injured.
What triggered this year’s violence was a February incident when Thai soldiers entered Cambodia and ordered Cambodian tourists to stop singing the Cambodian national anthem at the Prasat Ta Muen Thom temple. In late May, Cambodian and Thai soldiers briefly exchanged fire, resulting in the death of one Cambodian soldier. Attempts to halt the fighting failed, and continued tensions led to the closure of border checkpoints.
The two countries have long disputed ownership of parts of the ancient site. In 1962, an international court declared the temple Cambodian, but Thailand continues to claim adjacent areas that Cambodians insist are part of the temple complex. Each side maintains about 3,000 troops near the temple, and there have been a few shooting incidents since 2008, though none were serious. The two countries have been negotiating the withdrawal of soldiers.

15. It was a done deal. Trump threatened more tariffs if they didn't let him take credit.

That’s it in a nutshell, as I understand it from SiriusXM Progress.
