(WASHINGTON): According to the White House fact sheets, based on Cambodia’s diligent pursuit of peace and security, the United States will remove the arms embargo on Cambodia, and both sides agreed to restart the bilateral ANGKOR SENTINEL defense exercise, last held in 2017. Additionally, the United States will increase seats for Cambodian officers at U.S. military colleges such as West Point, Air Force Academy, and others.

The United States and Cambodia agreed to expand cooperation on combating transnational crime organizations, including narcotics trafficators and online scam centers – criminal enterprises that steal over $10 billion annually from vulnerable Americans.

The renewed agreement was reached during a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on 26 October 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, held on the sidelines of the 47th ASEAN Summit and its related meetings.
