It must be said that Trump has done a good deed this time.
He is in Scotland, but his heart is with the Thai-Cambodian border. Seeing that Thailand and Cambodia are fighting fiercely, Trump made a series of calls to Southeast Asia.
According to the details he revealed on social media himself.
On the 26th, he first called the Cambodian Prime Minister.
Then, he called Thailand.
After that, he called Houmanak to report the situation.
After playing golf, he continued to have long phone conversations, truly enjoying himself.
You guys hurry up and stop the fire at once, or I won’t do business with you.
After making the second call to Houmanak, Trump reported:
I just had a very pleasant conversation with the Cambodian Prime Minister and briefed him about my discussions with the Thai Prime Minister and his acting Prime Minister. Both sides hope for an immediate ceasefire and peace. They also want to return to the “trade negotiations table” with the United States, but we believe it’s not appropriate to do so until the war stops. They have agreed to meet immediately and quickly reach a ceasefire agreement, ultimately achieving peace! I am honored to deal with these two countries. They have a long and glorious history and culture. We hope they can live in harmony for many years to come. When everything settles down and peace is about to arrive, I look forward to signing trade agreements with these two countries!
The world’s leader made such a statement, and Thailand and Cambodia immediately responded positively.
Houmanak thanked Trump and stated:
The Cambodian side agrees to the proposal for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between the two armed forces.
Of course, it was noted that during a previous call with the Malaysian Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, the ASEAN Chair, he had already expressed this position.
The acting Prime Minister of Thailand, Prayut Chan-o-cha, confirmed:
Thailand generally agrees to a ceasefire, but please convey to Cambodia that:
Thailand hopes for an expedited bilateral meeting to jointly determine clear measures and procedures for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
If there are no new twists, Thailand and Cambodia will take the negotiating table after fighting for several days with heavy casualties.
It must be said that China and neighboring countries like Malaysia have actively intervened, strongly urging both sides to cease fire early.
Thailand and Cambodia also realize that continuing the fight is not in their favor.
We must also mention that Trump’s last-minute intervention, at least his series of phone calls, has led Thailand and Cambodia to capitulate and cease fire.
After all, the influence of the United States is significant.
After all, Trump’s stick is still out.
Previously, under Trump’s tariff policy, import duties on goods from Thailand and Cambodia were as high as 36%.
Now, showing some deference to Trump could lead to further discussions on tariffs, which is certainly a good thing.
Trump was quite pleased with himself, having once again brokered peace; however, it seems he was somewhat frustrated in his words and actions.
On social media, Trump also stated:
There have been many lives lost in this war, but it reminded me of the conflict between Pakistan and India, which eventually came to an end successfully.
In Trump’s words, the ceasefire between India and Pakistan is primarily his achievement.
But the world sees that India repeatedly attributes this to Trump’s insignificance, insisting that it was entirely due to Pakistan proactively calling for a ceasefire, and that Trump is taking advantage of Modi by making fun of him.
Therefore, Trump is also angry, wishing to be fair to the moon but finding it shining through the ditch.
So, we see that he specifically invited the Chief of the Army Staff of Pakistan, rather than the Indian military leaders, to dine at the White House.
Firstly, Trump really wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
It can be said that Trump has long dreamed of winning the Nobel Peace Prize since his first phase.
Obama did win it, but Trump hasn’t, and he has always been troubled by this.
尤其是他觉得，这一年，他功勋卓著，制止了印巴战火，叫停了伊以冲突，斡旋了非洲战乱，现在又劝阻了泰柬摩擦，全世界有谁像他这样？
前面说了，他一边和泰国和柬埔寨通着电话，一边还在回顾他制止印巴冲突的成就。
感觉今年诺奖再不给他，特朗普都能将挪威议会的屋顶给掀翻了。
第二，特朗普具有两面性。
一面，他喜欢上头条，
从来不怕事大，就怕事不大。
他还有太多不确定性，他随时会发飙掀桌子，他根本不在意你的面子你的利益。
另一面，他很想拿诺奖，他不会放过任何一个展示自己雄才大略的机会。
而且，他有时也很可爱，他至少不装不太假惺惺，他尊重强者也想成为强者，来来来，我们一起来做交易，大交易。
别忘了不久前，他接受美国狐狸台（福克斯）采访，女主持说了中国一堆坏话，然后追问：
“你怎么能和一个明显作恶的人谈判，并且在经济问题上信任他们呢？”
这显然不怀好意，但特朗普“鬼魅一笑”，告诉女主持：
“你认为我们不会这样对待他们吗？我们会的，我们做了很多事情。”
女主持都被憋得说不出话来，不甘心地追问：“世界就是这样运转的吗？”
特朗普微微一笑回答：
“世界就是这样运转的，这是一个肮脏的世界。”
第三，要激发特朗普的正能量。
既然有两面性，我总觉得，我们一方面对特朗普的错误，不妨有策略斗争；但另一方面，也要努力激发特朗普的正能量。
Like the India-Pakistan conflict and the Thailand-Cambodia dispute, other countries could engage in private efforts, but when it comes to public engagement, Trump is fully responsible.
In fact, Trump has taken on the role of a peace mediator, preferring to engage publicly and moreover, he enjoys showcasing his achievements in this endeavor.
Of course, if things don’t go as planned, Trump, you’ve just blown your own credibility by boasting too much.
Therefore, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has become the greatest pain in Trump’s heart.
Trump, you have rashly bombed Iran, you have allowed Israel to escalate its conflict, you have even withdrawn from UNESCO, and your trade tariffs pose a threat to the global economy. It’s no wonder that the Nobel Prize might be hard to bestow upon you!
You can ask the Europeans about this!
