The Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords, signed Sunday alongside the leaders of Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia, officially ended the five-day conflict that killed dozens and displaced hundreds of thousands. “On behalf of the United States, I’m proud to help settle this conflict and forge a future for the region,” Trump said — part diplomat, part dealmaker, his words landing with

In a statement, the Trump administration said the sanctions were imposed because of “Russia’s lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine.” “Now is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate ceasefire,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Given President Putin’s refusal to end this senseless
