In an unprecedented display of international recognition, Cambodia is preparing to honor President Donald Trump in a way no American president has ever been honored by the Southeast Asian nation. This explosive segment from the RAW FEED with Gary Franchi reveals how a grassroots movement led by Cambodian journalist Soy Sopheap is calling for the renaming of Cambodia’s most vital economic artery – National Road Number 4 – to “Donald Trump Boulevard.”
The story behind this extraordinary gesture reveals Trump’s often-overlooked diplomatic triumph in Southeast Asia. While the mainstream media was obsessing over manufactured scandals, President Trump quietly brokered a historic peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand, ending decades of violent border disputes that had claimed countless lives and destabilized the entire region. This wasn’t just another photo-op peace deal – it was a substantive agreement that brought real stability to millions of people.
But here’s where the story takes a dark turn that exposes the fragility of international agreements without strong leadership. Despite Cambodia faithfully honoring the ceasefire terms, Thailand has brazenly violated the peace accord. Thai forces kidnapped twenty Cambodian soldiers in a shocking breach of the agreement. Even more disturbing, eighteen of these soldiers remain in captivity to this day, held as political prisoners while their families suffer in anguish.
Soy Sopheap’s impassioned plea, captured in this exclusive video, articulates why Trump’s name on this highway would mean so much more than a simple honor. The 140-mile highway, originally built by the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, then reconstructed in the 1990s after Cambodia’s devastating civil war, represents the enduring partnership between America and Cambodia. It’s the nation’s primary economic lifeline, connecting the capital Phnom Penh to the crucial port city of Sihanoukville.
“He is the most important person for the Cambodian people,” Sopheap declares in his message to the government. “He has worked hard recently for the ceasefire. This is to put respect on the whole Cambodian people.” These aren’t the words of a politician seeking favor – they’re the genuine expression of gratitude from a nation that has seen too much conflict and finally found a leader willing to invest political capital in their peace.
The movement has gained serious momentum at the highest levels of Cambodian government. The Deputy Prime Minister has officially nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing his successful mediation between the two nations. This nomination carries particular weight coming from a region that rarely receives attention from Western leaders unless there’s a crisis.
International diplomacy strategist Michael Alfaro provided crucial context that the mainstream media is desperately trying to ignore. By continuing to hold these Cambodian soldiers hostage, Thailand isn’t just violating international law – they’re deliberately undermining President Trump’s diplomatic achievement. “Thailand is making Trump look like a liar,” Alfaro stated bluntly, “a grave insult to the very leader who made peace possible.”
The proposed “Donald Trump Boulevard” would serve multiple strategic purposes beyond mere recognition. First, it would cement the peace agreement in physical infrastructure, making it harder for future administrations to abandon. Second, it would serve as a daily reminder to Thailand that their violations haven’t been forgotten. As one Cambodian official noted off the record, “If Thailand were to threaten or bomb Donald Trump Boulevard, that wouldn’t sit well with the people – or President Trump.”
What makes this story particularly remarkable is how it contradicts the media narrative about Trump’s international standing. While CNN and MSNBC painted him as an international pariah, actual world leaders and citizens were experiencing something entirely different. Here’s a nation choosing to name its most important highway after an American president – not because they were pressured or paid, but because he delivered real results that saved lives.
This gesture from Cambodia also highlights the stark contrast between Trump’s foreign policy achievements and the current administration’s failures. While Biden stumbles through teleprompter speeches and can’t find his way off a stage, world leaders are still honoring Trump’s successful peace negotiations. The Cambodian people haven’t forgotten who actually showed up for them when it mattered.
We broke this story because you won’t see it on mainstream media. They’re too busy manufacturing the next hoax to report on actual diplomatic triumphs. But the truth has a way of surfacing, and the image of “President Donald Trump Boulevard” cutting through the heart of Cambodia will stand as a permanent testament to what real leadership looks like on the world stage.
