Trump’s Peace Deal at Risk as Fighting Surges at Cambodia-Thailand Border

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least two of several agreements, in Congo and at Cambodia-Thailand border, aimed at ending global conflicts that President Donald Trump has hailed as evidence of his negotiating prowess are in trouble and at risk of collapsing.

Less than a week after Congo and Rwanda signed a deal in Trump’s presence in Washington that was meant to halt fighting in eastern Congo, and less than two months after he witnessed Cambodia and Thailand sign a ceasefire pact in Malaysia to end their border conflict, fighting has surged in both places.

The developments have caused international alarm, which on Tuesday resulted in urgent calls to halt the renewed violence from countries involved in the African Great Lakes region and from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

In each case, the statements urged the combatants to live up to their commitments in the deals that Trump has touted in part as the rationale for casting himself as the “president of peace.”

Trump late Tuesday expressed confidence that once again he could end the fighting between Cambodia and Thailand.

“Tomorrow I’ll have to make a phone call,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania. “Who else could say, ‘I’m going to make a phone call and stop a war of two very powerful countries, Thailand and Cambodia?’”

In a separate statement, Rubio said the U.S. is concerned by an uptick in fighting between Cambodia and Thailand along their contested border, just over a month after the two countries signed an agreement in Malaysia that was pushed for by Trump.

“We strongly urge the immediate cessation of hostilities, the protection of civilians, and for both sides to return to the deescalatory measures outlined in the Oct. 26 Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords,” Rubio said in a statement.

The Cambodia-Thailand deal has been faltering for weeks, but it took a big hit when fighting broke out following a weekend skirmish in which two Thai soldiers were injured. Five days of fighting since has left dozens dead on both sides and forced the evacuation of over 100,000 civilians.

A senior Trump administration official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the president expected Thailand and Cambodia, as well as Rwanda and Congo, to “honor their commitments” to halt the violence. The official says the administration is monitoring the situation in Congo closely and that Trump has told both sides he is expecting “immediate results.”

Trump has repeatedly cited seven or eight agreements, including these two, as proof of his success in ending conflicts, although another one — an internationally endorsed plan to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza — is still not finalized and in limbo, with sporadic fighting continuing while a critical second phase remains a work in progress.

His efforts to halt the fighting between Russia and Ukraine have so far proven unsuccessful. Other deals Trump has been involved with and claimed as successes include those between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Israel and Iran, Kosovo and Serbia, and Egypt and Ethiopia.

BANGKOK — The Miss Universe Organization and the family of Dr. Gabrielle Henry, Miss Jamaica Universe 2025, have shared a heartfelt update on her recovery following a serious on-stage accident last month.

The statement, released on Monday, detailed the extent of Dr. Henry’s injuries, noting that her fall caused “an intracranial haemorrhage with loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations and other significant injuries.”

The accident occurred during the evening gown presentation in the preliminary round of Miss Universe 2025 on November 19, when Henry fell from the stage at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani near Bangkok. She was immediately rushed to a hospital in Bangkok.

Nawat Itsaragrisil, chairman of the Miss Universe Thailand Host Committee, said the following day that she was safe and had no broken bones. However, the Jamaican beauty queen did not participate in the final round on November 21 and has required extended treatment in the ICU.

BANGKOK — Thailand opened the 33rd Southeast Asian Games on Tuesday night with a ceremony presided over by King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida, marking the country’s first time hosting the regional event in 18 years.

The opening ceremony at Bangkok’s Rajamangala National Stadium drew a full house of 30,000 spectators, who secured free seats through online and on-site registration that filled up by late afternoon. The Games run Dec. 9–20.

The show began at 7 p.m. under the theme “We Are One — We Are Connected by the Sea,” combining traditional Thai performances with artists from 10 other participating nations.

Highlights included underwater ballet, jet ski and flyboard stunts, and a traditional Muay Thai wai kru performed by boxing star Buakaw Banchamek. BamBam, the Thai singer from K-pop group GOT7, also took the stage.

Athletes from all 11 countries, led by flag bearers from the Southeast Asian Games Federation, marched into the stadium in alphabetical order, with Thailand entering last as host.

Her Majesty the Queen led the Thai athletes’ procession, as she is set to compete for Thailand in the SSL47 keelboat sailing event at the SEA Games. The competition will take place December 15-18 at Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Sattahip District, Chonburi Province.

After the King declared the Games open, the SEA Games flag was raised. The torch relay featured skateboarder Vareeraya Sukasem, 2008 Olympic boxing champion Somjit Jongjohor, and two-time Olympic taekwondo gold medalist Panipak Wongpattanakit. The cauldron lighting triggered a stadium-wide display of lasers, CGI projections and a drone show.

Thailand’s preparations, however, have been dogged by criticism. In the lead-up to the Games, organizers faced complaints over weak publicity efforts, the use of AI-generated promotional posters, and the failure to play national anthems before a Vietnam–Laos football match.

The event also opens amid heightened Thai-Cambodian border tensions, complicating the government’s message of regional unity and peace through sports.

Thai Probe Finds No Real Operations at Companies Linked to Kok An’s Family

BANGKOK — Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) said Friday that five companies registered by the children of Cambodian senator Kok An, who is wanted in Thailand on money-laundering and illegal gambling facilitation charges, show no signs of genuine business activity and may have been created as fronts.

Investigators said none of the firms were operating at their listed addresses and none had employees. Some had previously been active but have since ceased operations. One company rented space in a commercial building in Bangkok’s Sathorn district solely to receive parcels and mail, officials said.

The findings are part of a broader probe into the network of Chen Zhi, also known as Vincent, founder of Prince Holding Group. The United States has sanctioned Chen, several associated companies, and 43 foreign nationals — including Yim Leak, Benjamin Mauerberger and Kok An — for alleged involvement in transnational crime and online fraud.

kok an — Cambodian businessman and senator Kok An is wanted in Thailand on money-laundering charges.

The DSI is reviewing whether any of the 43 individuals have links to people, companies or business activities in Thailand. It has requested business registration records from the Department of Business Development and financial data from the Anti-Money Laundering Office.

If investigators determine that Thai-registered entities are being used as nominee structures or are tied to a transnational network, the cases could be escalated as special investigations under Thailand’s Foreign Business Act or related laws.

According to an internal memo, investigators have examined companies tied to Kok An and his three children — Juree Klongkitkol, Puchelin (Yulai) Klongkitkol and Kittisak Klongkitkol — in coordination with the Business Development Department. Initial checks showed that the children, who are now charged with fraudulent birth registrations, held director roles in about five service-sector firms.

A deeper review confirmed that most appear to be shell companies, with addresses in office buildings where no operations or staff were ever found.

One company in Hat Yai, Songkhla province, appeared to have once been active but is no longer operating. Another, an online recruitment firm registered in Sathorn, was found to have only borrowed space from another corporate entity and had no real office or personnel.

Investigators said the companies may have used “virtual office” arrangements common among startups that lack funds for staff or office space but require a credible address. Some businesses rent large spaces and subdivide them into virtual suites that exist only on paper, allowing clients to use prestigious building addresses without having physical offices. One of the companies linked to Kok An’s children used such an arrangement, the DSI said.

kok an1 — FILE – Thai police conduct coordinated raids on 19 locations across Bangkok, Samut Prakan, and Chonburi provinces on July 8, 2025, targeting the criminal empire of Kok An, known as the “Godfather of Poipet.

A DSI source said the lack of operations across all five firms raises concerns about possible money-laundering activities. It is also possible, the source said, that some businesses once operated legitimately but shut down after failing or after individuals connected to them moved abroad earlier this year.

Building owners told investigators they had never seen any staff or business activity from the companies in question.

Investigators noted that Kok An’s name does not appear on any of the firms’ director lists. Although he holds Thai permanent residency, he is not a naturalized Thai citizen, while his children have Thai nationality — a factor that may have made it easier to register businesses in their names, officials said.

WASHINGTON DC — Global Humane Society, the international brand of American Humane Society, the oldest national humane organization in the United States and the largest certifier of animal welfare, presented Mr. Anant Ambani, founder of the wildlife conservation center Vantara, with the Global Humanitarian Award for Animal Welfare. Mr Ambani is the youngest ever and the first Asian to receive this prestigious recognition. The award was conferred on him at an international event that brought together leaders committed to wildlife protection and animal welfare.

Widely regarded as one of the foremost global recognitions in the field of animal welfare and conservation, the award acknowledges Mr. Ambani’s leadership in evidence-based welfare programs, science-led conservation initiatives and sustained efforts to protect vulnerable species worldwide. The award is reserved for individuals whose lifelong commitment has created transformative, global impact for both animals and people.

Global Humane Society selected Mr. Ambani for his visionary leadership in establishing Vantara, a conservation center that has redefined what is possible in large-scale rescue, rehabilitation and species preservation. His compassion, passion and unwavering dedication to animal welfare place him alongside a distinguished lineage of past recipients, and his work is shaping the future of conservation not only in India but across the world.

Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of Global Humane Society said, “Vantara receiving the Global Humane Certified™ distinction reflected not only excellence in care, but a profound dedication to giving every animal dignity, healing and hope. And there is no greater champion of that vision than Mr. Anant Ambani, whose leadership has set a new global standard for compassion in action.”

“Vantara represents one of the most extraordinary commitments to animal welfare anywhere in the world… it is more than a rescue center, it is a sanctuary of healing. The ambition, scale, and heart behind Vantara have set a new benchmark for what modern animal welfare can look like,” she added.

Mr. Anant Ambani, Founder of Vantara said, “I thank Global Humane Society for this honor. For me, it reaffirms a timeless principle, sarva bhuta hita, the wellbeing of all beings. “Animals teach us balance, humility and trust. Through Vantara, our purpose is to give every life dignity, care and hope, guided by the spirit of seva. Conservation is not for tomorrow; it is a shared dharma we must uphold today.”

Over the years, the Global Humanitarian Award has been bestowed upon only a select few – visionaries whose hearts, leadership and determination helped reshape the landscape of animal welfare and conservation. Past honorees have included Hollywood legends such as Shirley MacLaine, John Wayne and Betty White, as well as prominent political leaders, including US Presidents John F Kennedy and Bill Clinton, and global champions for animals whose influence has transcended borders.

Founded in 1877, American Humane Society has been dedicated to animal welfare for nearly 150 years and has been at the forefront of virtually every major advance in the humane movement. Since her appointment as President and CEO in 2010, Dr. Robin Ganzert has spearheaded unprecedented growth and transformational change at the historic nonprofit, directly impacting the lives of billions of animals around the world through innovative, life-changing and life-saving programs that set a high standard in animal welfare and protection.

The Global Humane Certified™ programs are some of the most rigorous, meaningful certifications in animal welfare anywhere in the world. To become Global Humane Certified™, Vantara completed a comprehensive and independent audit conducted by world-leading experts in animal welfare, behavioral science, veterinary medicine, zoology and ethics. The process examines a broad range of animal welfare indicators, from nutrition, water access, safety, enrichment, and staff training to species-specific needs, lighting, environmental quality, medical care and opportunities for natural behaviour.

What makes Vantara unique is that it integrates ex situ care (support provided outside an animal’s natural habitat) with in situ protection (efforts carried out within native ecosystems), creating a long-term, science-led pathway for wildlife conservation. Its work focuses on safeguarding threatened species, restoring declining populations and advancing science-based programmes that support the reintroduction of endangered and even extinct-in-the-wild animals to their natural environments. Through research, restoration initiatives and collaborative conservation partnerships, Vantara aims to contribute to global biodiversity and help secure the survival of species for generations to come.

The event drew participation from leading voices in global wildlife conservation, including Dr. Jon Paul Rodríguez, former Chair of the IUCN Species Survival Commission; Matt James, Chief Animal Officer at Colossal Biosciences; William Street, President and CEO of Zoo Knoxville; Thomas Schmid, President and CEO of the Columbus Zoo; Dr. Michael Adkesson, President and CEO of Brookfield Zoo Chicago; and Kathleen Dudzinski, Founder and Director of the Dolphin Communication Project. Also in attendance were several noted Indian conservation experts, among

them Dr. Neelam Khaire, Dr. V.B. Prakash and Dr. K.K. Sarma, whose work has played an important role in advancing wildlife research and conservation in India.

Daikin Thailand Reaches Bonus, Pay Deal After Marathon Talks

daikin-chonburi — Daikin Industries (Thailand)

BANGKOK — Daikin Industries (Thailand) Ltd. and the Daikin Amata Raksa Seri Workers’ Union reached a settlement early Tuesday after more than 12 hours of negotiations over bonuses, wage increases and long-service benefits.

Talks began at 1 p.m. Monday and concluded at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday at a Bangkok hotel, where mediators from the Labor Ministry oversaw the discussions. One key item was the company’s proposal to replace its long-standing 10-year gold-gift benefit with a cash payment.

Labor Minister Treenuch Thienthong welcomed the agreement, saying the ministry will continue to safeguard the rights of both employers and employees. The negotiations were led by labor inspector Prasit Patangkaroh and officials from the Chonburi Provincial Labor Protection and Welfare Office and the Department of Labor Relations.

Terms of the Agreement

Under the deal, the two sides agreed to the following terms:

— A 2025 annual bonus equal to seven months of salary plus 12,000 baht ($370) and an additional 3,000 baht ($95).
— A 3% wage increase for 2026 based on the midpoint of Grade C pay levels.
— A change to the long-service award, replacing gold gifts with a 50,000-baht ($1,570) cash payment for employees with at least 10 years of service.
— An increase in the daily shift allowance from 150 baht to 160 baht.
— An extension of holiday periods in 2026, including nine days for Songkran and nine days for New Year’s.

The agreement will be in effect from Dec. 8, 2025, through Dec. 7, 2026. Union members are expected to return to work at 8 a.m. Tuesday.

Background and Dispute

The dispute began after workers rejected Daikin’s earlier offer of a five-month bonus, a 12,000-baht payout and a 2% salary increase. Employees argued the package did not reflect the company’s strong performance, citing nearly 6 billion baht ($188 million) in profit and robust cash reserves.

Tensions also rose over Daikin’s plan to discontinue gold gifts for 10-year employees. With gold prices surging, the company proposed replacing the gift with a 40,000-baht ($1,255) payment and reallocating savings to the general bonus pool. Some workers opposed the change, prompting Daikin to offer a higher bonus of seven to eight months if employees agreed to end or convert the tradition.

After 11 failed rounds of talks, workers staged a protest last week outside the company’s factory in the Amata City Industrial Estate in Chonburi before the two sides finally reached a compromise.
