Trump's Thailand ambassador pick says Bangkok border conflicts don't help alliance
WASHINGTON: United States President Donald Trump's nominee for US ambassador to Thailand said on Tuesday (Jul 29) he would tell Bangkok, if confirmed in the post, that conflicts like Thailand's recent border skirmish with Cambodia do nothing to help the Thai people or the country's alliance with Washington. Sean O'Neill, a career foreign service officer who has served twice before as a diplomat in Thailand, made the comment at his Senate confirmation hearing when asked about five days of clashes between Thailand and Cambodia that killed at least 43 people and displaced over 300,000. Thai and Cambodian leaders met in Malaysia on Monday and agreed to a ceasefire to halt their deadliest conflict in more than a decade. That agreement came after Trump warned the Thai and Cambodian leaders at the weekend that trade negotiations with the US would not progress if fighting continued. Asked what he would do to ensure that the ceasefire became a long-term peace agreement, O'Neill said: "I think the first thing I would do is to point out to Thailand, which is one of our only treaty allies in Asia, that wars like this, conflicts like this, do nothing to help their people. "They do nothing to strengthen our alliance, they do nothing to address the challenges that both of our countries face. They are just a needless waste of life and treasure." O'Neill also said Thailand should not lend legitimacy to the military government in its neighbour Myanmar. He said the State Department's position was not to encourage Myanmar to hold "sham" elections the military was looking to hold in the autumn. "If confirmed, I would encourage Thailand not to recognize an election that does not include the participation of over 50 per cent of the country, while most of the opposition leaders are in prison," he said.

O'Neill homers again as Orioles rout Blue Jays 16-4 in the opener of a doubleheader
BALTIMORE (AP) — Tyler O'Neill homered for a fourth straight game, and the Baltimore Orioles tied a major league record with five sacrifice flies on Tuesday in a 16-4 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays in the opener of a doubleheader. Ramón Urías homered twice, and Gunnar Henderson also went deep for the last-place Orioles, who have outscored the AL East leaders 27-8 in the first two games of this series. Charlie Morton (7-8) allowed three runs in six innings for the Orioles, yielding a two-run homer by Addison Barger in the fourth. Baltimore loaded the bases with nobody out in the first and third against Blue Jays starter Easton Lucas (3-3). O'Neill and Cedric Mullins hit sacrifice flies in the first, and Urías and Mullins did so in the third. Toronto fought back to within a run before the Orioles scored six in the sixth. Henderson hit an RBI single, and O'Neill followed with a three-run shot. Then Urías hit a drive to center that made it 9-3. Henderson added a three-run shot and Urías hit another solo homer in the seventh. Joey Loperfido hit a solo homer for Toronto in the eighth. Ali Sánchez, who caught the first seven innings, pitched the eighth for the Blue Jays. He struck out fellow catcher Alex Jackson swinging on a looping pitch clocked at 35 mph. Jackson Holliday hit Baltimore's fifth sacrifice fly later that inning. Key moment With another game still to come, the Blue Jays left reliever Lazaro Estrada in to allow six runs in 3 1/3 innings. He hit two of the first three Baltimore batters in the sixth to start that big rally. Key stat The sacrifice fly became official in 1954, and the Orioles are the fourth team to hit five in a game since then. The most recent had been Seattle in 2008. Up next Brandon Young (0-5) starts for Baltimore against Eric Lauer (6-2) in Tuesday's nightcap. ___ AP MLB:
