Trump can't even order Netanyahu to do anything in Gaza. Actually, they are working hand in glove in Gaza, the same as bombing Iran and feigning ignorance. Netanyahu does not need the nod from Trump to do his genocide in Gaza. They are complicit to say the least.
Trump is trying to take credit for stopping the India/Pakistan war using trade deals, of all things, if you believe him. He is also trying to do the same with the Thailand/Cambodia conflict trying to fool the unwary. But he could not do what he gloated about a year ago, which is stopping the Ukraine War within 24 hours of taking office. Let us see how Putin will do in the next 12 days. It will again be water under the bridge, just flowing away undisturbed and another ultimatum.
Thailand is under a regime on the side of the USA, trying to destabilize Cambodia, a long-time ally of China. Taking action against Cambodia is all about countering China. The USA tried to do that using Myanmar years ago, thinking that Aung San Suu Kyis's rise to power will led to carrying out its agenda to break off Myanmar's China ties, but failed against the strongmen military regime. Now the USA is using Thailand to destabilize Cambodia, knowing there is an unsettled border issue between the two countries for decades, even centuries.
What was the issue all about? The border issue was there for centuries. It was all about the Thai PM, Paetongtarn Shinawatra calling Hung Sen 'uncle', which is a big issue with the partisan Thais, or should I say a big issue with the ground in Thailand bought by the USA. Thaksin Shinawatra, the father, is an economic adviser to the Cambodian Government, and also personal adviser to Hung Sen, so in my opinion for Thaksin's daughter to call Hung Sen 'uncle' is just an Eastern form of respect, nothing else.
In Thailand, any issue that can be exploited by the USA will be exploited. Red Shirts and Yellow Shirts are just opposite camps supported by pro and anti-USA elements, nothing more. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

The USA had been trying to destabilize Thailand for decades but could not succeed because of the strong military presence and the Thai Monarchy taking care of any unrest. The Thai Military is one hurdle the USA could not overcome just as in Myanmar. The other hurdle is the Thai Monarchy which is the calming force whenever the country faces unrest.
The USA tried to install a pro-USA Government before this and attempted to do away with the Thai Monarchy, a stance that most of the Thai people and military are against. Taking away the Thai Monarchy will be the first step to weaken the Thai Government, after which weakening the power of the military will follow. Having election offers a weak spot in any country's national security, easily tempered with using money.
The Thai Military Government is well aware that foreign NGOs are working the ground in tandem with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an entity backed by the USA Government. The NED's job is to destabilize Governments that do not follow the dictates of the USA. It was involved in Hong Kong unrest working together with the CIA, providing the funding to those protestors.
The Thai Government tried to pass a law requiring all NGOs to disclose their source of funding, which resulted in those NGOs up in arms against the ruling. As we know, human rights group are also against such laws that will curb their nefarious activities trying to destabilize legally elected governments.
Now, the modus operandi of the NED seems to be using one country against another to fulfil its objective of destabilizing both, killing two birds with one stone.
Putin ought to tell Trump to look for a spider. Trump can handle a spider.
