President Donald Trump on Saturday signed three peace and trade deals with the leaders of Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia on Sunday, the first full day of the president’s Asia trip.

All three nations pledged to expand economic ties with the United States and remove existing trade barriers, including tariffs. The president also formally oversaw a peace deal signed between the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand after the two nations were involved in violent border clashes earlier this year.

The two nations appeared to be on a collision course for a wider conflict, at which point Trump intervened as a mediator. The president has credited negotiations on trade with helping both sides come to an agreement.

While speaking after the deal was signed Sunday, Trump said the agreement may save “millions of lives” in the two Southeast Asian nations, which were represented by their respective prime ministers in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. “Millions of people are alive today because of this peace treaty,” Trump declared.

“The United Nations should be doing this, but they don’t do it. They don’t do it. They turned off my teleprompter. When I made a speech, I had to make a speech without a teleprompter. They’re good at that. The escalator wasn’t working too well. It came to a complete halt,” he added.

“But, I mean, the United Nations has such great potential. I wish they could do it. They didn’t get involved with us at all. We just did the deal and reported the deal, and everybody was sort of amazed that we got it done so quickly and so nicely.”

Of Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia, Thailand and Malaysia are fairly significant trade partners. I'm not sure about Cambodia.

Getting a treaty between Thailand and Cambodia paves the way for the trade deal with Thailand. If Thailand isn't spending money and resources on a war they can develop their natural resources. Win, win, win. O course this means it is absolutely certain he will not win the Nobel Peace prize next year. Don't be surprised if Greta gets the nod.
