🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Cambodia Tourism Minister Interview
📍 Never-Before-Seen Peace Mission Footage 🇰🇭
BREAKING: Gary Franchi, Chief White House Correspondent for Next News Network, presents another exclusive clip from Michael Alfaro’s peace mission to Cambodia. This interview with Cambodia’s Minister of Tourism, recorded before today’s Thai assault on civilians, proves Cambodia’s commitment to peace while Thailand continues its aggression despite Trump’s ceasefire order.
The Minister’s opening words resonate powerfully today: "I sincerely appreciate President Donald Trump for his efficient effort for the ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia." He emphasized that peace is "vital for prosperity in the region" and fundamental for tourism. Hours after this interview, Thai forces would violate that very ceasefire by attacking Cambodian civilians.
In a historic revelation, the Minister discusses Cambodia’s potential naming of Highway 4 as "President Trump Highway"—the first time in US history a sitting president would receive such an honor. The 140-mile highway, built by America in the 1950s, would become a symbol of Cambodia-US friendship. Michael Alfaro’s insight proves prophetic: "I don’t think our adversaries like Thailand would dare to drop artillery on Donald Trump’s highway."
The interview exposes opportunities Thailand’s aggression seeks to destroy. With Trump reducing Cambodia’s reciprocal tax from 39% to 19%, the Minister sees "many international companies coming to invest in Cambodia." This emerging market offers what China cannot: clean air, English-speaking workforce, educated population, and genuine safety for investors.
Michael Alfaro shares his personal Cambodia experience from seven years ago, describing Angkor Wat: "I felt like I was touching God. I was walking in God’s home." His message to Cambodian Americans traumatized by genocide: "You will never be at peace with yourself if you don’t come back to Cambodia." The Minister confirms Cambodia’s safety, welcoming all tourists despite border tensions.
The 75th anniversary of US-Cambodia diplomatic relations faces its greatest test as Thailand’s military alignment with China threatens regional stability. While the Minister promotes health tourism, eco-tourism, and investment opportunities, Thai forces work to destabilize the very peace required for economic growth. His words "tourism grows in peace" prove tragically prescient.
Alfaro’s assessment of the US-China trade war reveals Cambodia’s strategic advantage: "Not every job from China is going to come to the United States. They’re going to find better partners, fair traders like Cambodia." Unlike China’s overcrowded, polluted cities, Cambodia offers clean environment, friendly people, universal English fluency, and eager workforce.
The Minister outlines government incentives for foreign investors, emphasizing Cambodia as an "emerging market" with untapped potential. From manufacturing shoes employing thousands of mothers to cutting-edge medical tourism, Cambodia stands ready for American partnership. The discussion of dual citizenship for Cambodian-Americans who bring business shows forward-thinking leadership.
Most revealing is what the Minister doesn’t say—no threats against Thailand, no military posturing, just consistent calls for peace and prosperity. This diplomatic approach contrasts sharply with Thailand’s morning assault on civilians, proving which nation truly seeks stability in Southeast Asia.
Alfaro’s prophetic words about President Trump echo throughout: "What can I build with Cambodia? Everything that comes in his mind is about how can I build a Trump Tower in Cambodia when I’m done with the White House?" This vision of golden partnership stands in stark contrast to Thailand’s military coup ambitions and Chinese weapon purchases.
This interview highlights Cambodia’s transformation from genocide survivor to emerging market. As the Minister states, leadership is “ready to giving beneficial incentive to foreign investor.” With openness to U.S. business, strategic location, and English-speaking population, Cambodia is poised to be Southeast Asia’s next economic miracle.
But Thailand’s aggression threatens it all. While Cambodia promotes tourism and trade, Thai forces hold 18 kidnapped soldiers, block burials, and assault civilians during ceasefire. The Minister’s call for peace as “fundamental for tourism” rings hollow when neighbors choose war over prosperity.
This footage shows why Thailand blacklisted Michael Alfaro and Gary Franchi. Cambodia is ready for U.S. partnership, while Thailand slips deeper into military rule. The truth is clear: Cambodia chooses prosperity, Thailand chooses Chinese weapons.
Watch this exclusive interview to see why Cambodia deserves American investment, why Thailand fears U.S. ties, and why Trump’s intervention is crucial. Cambodia calls for peace, but this morning’s Thai assault proves who threatens Southeast Asia’s stability.
