Thailand’s prime minister said he is set to speak with President Donald Trump on Dec. 12 as fierce fighting with Cambodia entered a fifth day. The Southeast Asian nation was plunged deeper into political uncertainty after the Thai king approved the dissolution of parliament and a snap election.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters in Bangkok he was scheduled to speak with Trump late Friday, as artillery, rockets, drones, and airstrikes continued along the long-disputed Thai-Cambodian border, killing at least 20 people this week and displacing hundreds of thousands on both sides.
