Another Trump success and UN failure

Trump signs peace, trade deals ending conflict between Cambodia and Thailand — rips UN: ‘Didn’t get involved’

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — President Trump blasted the United Nations for not being more involved in ending wars as he signed peace and trade deals Sunday with the leaders of Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia — with the three nations pledging to boost US economic ties in exchange for lower tariffs.

Trump, 79, said the peace accord formalizing a truce he brokered between Cambodia and Thailand in July may save “millions of lives” in the two Southeast Asian nations, which were represented by their prime ministers at the ceremony in the Malaysian capital.

“Millions of people are alive today because of this peace treaty,” Trump declared.

“The United Nations should be doing this, but they don’t do it. They don’t do it. They turned off my teleprompter. When I made a speech, I had to make a speech without a teleprompter. They’re good at that. The escalator wasn’t working too well. It came to a complete halt,” he added.

“But, I mean, the United Nations has such great potential. I wish they could do it. They didn’t get involved with us at all. We just did the deal and reported the deal, and everybody was sort of amazed that we got it done so quickly and so nicely.”
