Thailand, Cambodia plan border visits for diplomats as violence eases
Bangkok, Jul 31 (AP) Thailand and Cambodia separately planned border visits for foreign diplomats to observe damages from the nearly weeklong clash, as violence that continued after a ceasefire appears to have eased. The ceasefire reached in Malaysia was supposed to take effect at midnight Monday, but it was quickly tested as Thailand and Cambodia continued to accuse each other of violating the truce agreements. Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday it is organising a trip to the border for military attachés of foreign missions and the media on Friday to show the impact of the clashes on the ground. Cambodia is also organising a border visit for foreign diplomats on the same day. It held a similar trip on Wednesday attended by representatives from 13 countries, including the US and China. Thailand's government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub said Thursday that there had been no new clashes reported overnight Wednesday. But tensions on other fronts continue to simmer. Officials in Thailand's border province of Surin, one of the critical locations of the conflict, on Thursday cautioned evacuees against returning home as they were surveying affected areas for any ammunition that might still pose a risk. A spokesperson for Cambodia's Defence Ministry, Maly Socheata, said Thursday that Cambodia has received the body of one of its soldiers from Thailand. 'I hope that the Thai Army will return all our soldiers who are currently in the custody of the Thai Army to Cambodia as soon as possible," he said. Thai foreign minister Maris Sagniampongsa said the Cambodian soldiers were being well taken care of and would be sent back once Thailand is confident they no longer pose a threat. He said security officials would determine when the return would be. Hun Manet and Thailand's acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, agreed Monday to an 'unconditional" halt in the fighting, which has killed at least 41 people. The fighting began last week after a land mine explosion along the border wounded five Thai soldiers. The peace talks were hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. He called the ceasefire a 'vital first step towards de-escalation and the restoration of peace and security." The ceasefire was brokered with US pressure as President Donald Trump said he would not move forward with trade agreements if the conflict continued. But both countries continued to blame each other, and Thailand accused Cambodia of launching new attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday after the agreement took effect. Cambodia's Major General Chan Sopheaktra of the Preah Vihear province said Wednesday that the Cambodian military has been strictly adhering to the ceasefire agreement and that there had been two ceasefire violations by Thai forces since the agreement took effect. He did not elaborate on the violations. Cambodia and Thailand have clashed in the past over their 800-kilometre border. Tensions had been growing since May, when a Cambodian soldier was killed in a confrontation that created a diplomatic rift and roiled Thailand's domestic politics.

'Costing our country trillions of dollars': Donald Trump calls Jerome Powell 'too stupid' after rate decision; central bank holds rates steady for fifth straight time
President Donald Trump lashed out at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday, accusing him of being 'too stupid' and 'too political' for the job after the central bank opted to keep interest rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting. 'Jerome 'Too Late' Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair. He is costing our Country TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, in addition to one of the most incompetent, or corrupt, renovations of a building(s) in the history of construction! Put another way,'Too Late' is a TOTAL LOSER, and our Country is paying the price!' Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, a day after the Federal Reserve announced its decision to hold the key lending rate steady. Meanwhile, US inflation edged higher in June, with the Federal Reserve's preferred price gauge reflecting the early impact of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on a broad range of goods. According to Commerce Department data released Thursday, prices rose 2.6% year-on-year in June, up from 2.4% in May. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, held steady at 2.8%—a figure revised higher for May, AP reported. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Earlier, the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged for the fifth straight meeting, defying pressure from President Donald Trump and highlighting concerns over rising inflation linked to tariffs. Chair Jerome Powell said tariffs were starting to push up prices, but it was too early to tell if the impact would last. 'That is a risk to be assessed and managed,' he told reporters, as quoted AP. The Fed held its key short-term rate at around 4.3%, where it has remained since three cuts last year. Two governors—Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman—voted for a cut, marking the first such dual dissent from Fed governors in over three decades. One official, Adriana Kugler, was absent. Powell stressed that no decision had been made for the next meeting. 'We have made no decisions about September,' he said, warning that premature easing could reignite inflation.
