President Donald Trump on Saturday said both Cambodia and Thailand want a ceasefire and have agreed to meet.

"I just had a very good call with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, and informed him of my discussions with Thailand, and its Acting Prime Minister," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "Both Parties are looking for an immediate Ceasefire and Peace."

Trump said that both countries also want to return to the trading table with the U.S.

"They are also looking to get back to the “Trading Table” with the United States, which we think is inappropriate to do until such time as the fighting STOPS," Trump's post continued. "They have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE! It was an Honor to deal with both Countries. They have a long and storied History and Culture."

Earlier this week, there were armed clashes between Cambodia and Thailand over a border dispute that resulted in 12 people being killed.

Both sides' forces accused each other of opening fire first, according to CNN.

Trump said he hopes both countries can get along for years to come.
