Trump arrives in Malaysia to witness signing of Thailand-Cambodia 'peace deal'

US President Donald Trump arrives in Kuala Lumpur to witness the signing of a "peace deal" between Thailand and Cambodia, who have a long-standing border dispute, BBC reports.

Trade pressure from Trump led to a ceasefire in late July, ending five days of clashes that killed over two dozen people.

While in Malaysia, Trump will also attend a summit of the Association of South East Asian Nations or Asean.

He is on a one-week high stakes trip to Asia that also includes stops in Japan for a meeting with the key US ally's new conservative leader, and South Korea to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Forum (Apec) leaders' summit.

The highlight of the trip will be a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the sidelines of Apec in Gyeongju.
