The talks, announced by a spokesperson for the Thai prime minister's office on Sunday, come after pressure from U.S. President Trump to reach a ceasefire.

The meeting comes after US President Trump had earlier suggested he would not resume trade talks if hostilies continued.

Cambodian Defense Ministry spokesperson Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata accused Thai forces of escalating the violence with bombardment of Cambodian territory early Sunday, followed by a “large-scale incursion” involving tanks and ground troops in multiple areas.
