Cambodian prime minister suggests US should withdraw Peace Corps volunteers

‘Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has implied that the United States should withdraw American Peace Corps volunteers amid escalating tensions over accusations that Americans in the Southeast Asian country colluded with an opposition leader against the government.
Earlier, the US embassy in Phnom Penh issued a travel warning that urged citizens to show caution amid “anti-American rhetoric by officials.”
“Are you scaring Cambodians?” Hun Sen said on Friday in an address to garment workers at factories that export much of their production to the US.
“Are you prepared to invade Cambodia and that’s why you told Americans to be careful? It’s good if you pull out the Peace Corps,” he added.
The embassy was on Friday swearing in tens of new volunteers from the Peace Corps, a program run by the US government to send Americans abroad to help with local projects.’
