Washington time December 19, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio answered journalists' questions during a press conference:

The U.S. mediation agreements involving Southeast Asia's Cambodia and Thailand, as well as Africa's Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, have failed.

Rubio added:

The current role of the United States is to bring Cambodia and Thailand back to the negotiation table, but neither side has abided by the signed agreements, and both have expressed dissatisfaction with each other. As for Africa, officials from the Trump administration are still actively involved and have asked their friends on Capitol Hill, regardless of whether they are Republicans or Democrats, to also engage in dialogue with the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
