At the start of a private visit to his golf field in Scotland, the US president wrote in “Truth Social” that both states “have agreed to meet immediately to reach ceasefire agreements quickly and, in the end, God damn it!
He added that he expects to resume trade talks with Cambodia and Thailand, but stressed that it is not appropriate for these negotiations to develop “until LUFTES” are stopped.
