In a statement released on July 28, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, "The United States applauds the ceasefire declaration between Cambodia and Thailand announced today in Kuala Lumpur. President Trump and I are committed to an immediate cessation of violence and expect the governments of Cambodia and Thailand to fully honor their commitments to end this conflict. We are grateful to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for his leadership and for hosting the ceasefire talks. We urge all parties to follow through on their commitments.
