According to Thai News Agency, Maj. Gen. Winthai Suvari, the Army spokesman, spoke at the Royal Thai Army Headquarters about the ongoing conflict. He addressed the discussions involving Donald Trump, President of the United States, with the Prime Minister of Cambodia and Mr. Phumtham Vejjayachai, Acting Prime Minister.
