Should Cambodia pay back the US?
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/02/w...debt.html?_r=0
$274 million was loaned to Cambodia to buy mostly food staples "rice, wheat, oil and cotton."
Under standard interest rates, Cambodia now owes the US about $506 million.
Cambodia was roughly bombed the same as North Korea (US dropped approximately 500,000 tons of conventional explosives within Eastern Cambodia)
Trump seems to be fine with not charging for military services rendered, but seems to be unwilling to forgive the price of food assistance offered. Should Trump impose trade restrictions if debts are not paid?

Or would that be North Vietnam ?
