Anutin clarified that Thailand's military responses are defensive, necessitated by Cambodian violations causing Thai casualties, and stressed the importance of the US hearing Thailand's perspective.
President Trump expressed concern over the conflict, urged a return to peace terms, and offered US support, while Anutin insisted Cambodia must demonstrate a genuine ceasefire by withdrawing forces and removing explosives.
The discussion also included pending US tariff negotiations, with Trump pledging better tariff treatment for Thailand, assuring Anutin that this issue was separate from the border conflict.
