July 27 (UPI) -- Fighting continued between Thailand and Cambodia forces on Sunday in a border dispute despite both prime ministers agreeing to a cease-fire in conversations with U.S. President Donald Trump one day earlier.
It was the fourth day of clashes, and the most deadly in 14 years of skirmishes between the two Asian nations. Trump spoke Saturday with both leaders, who told him they want peace.
The New York Times reported that analysts believe both nations want to grab territory before an agreement is signed.
At least 34 people have died in the conflict, which surpasses the conflict between 2008 and 2011 in which 15 people died.
