President Trump took a victory lap Monday after Cambodia and Thailand reached a cease-fire deal to stop deadly fighting that erupted between the two Southeast Asian neighbors last week. On Saturday, the president had called up the leaders of the two countries and halted trade negotiations with them in a bid to stop the conflict.

At least 12 have been killed in violent tensions along the disputed border separating Thailand and Cambodia. This follows a flare-up in May in which troops exchanged fire.

Thailand and Cambodia exchanged heavy artillery fire for a second day on Friday as border fighting intensified and spread, while Cambodia's leader said Thailand had agreed to a Malaysian ceasefire proposal but then backed down.
