He credited Trump's 'visionary and innovative diplomacy' for the breakthrough. Trump had used his favored bargaining tool of trade deals and tariffs to get Cambodia and Thailand to agree to the truce last month. The ceasefire came after five days of clashes that included airstrikes and artillery shelling, which left dozens dead and displaced over 300,000 people along the roughly 800-kilometre (500-mile) border. The U.S. president has repeatedly said he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in mediating conflicts, including between Pakistan and India and Iran and Israel. Pakistan also nominated Trump for the prize, although India has consistently said Trump played no role in securing the truce. Recipients of the peace prize typically don't lobby for the award.

Trump's tariff hike hits the world days after U.S. struck Canada with higher duty

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump marked 200 days back in office today by again hitting nations around the world with increased tariffs, days after slapping Canada with a 35 per cent duty. Trump escalated his trade war last week by hitting Canada with a baseline 35 per cent tariff that applies only to goods not covered by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on trade, better known as CUSMA.
