The United States expressed disappointment Tuesday that Cambodia had demolished a second American-funded military facility without warning, as the kingdom turns to China to expand a naval base.
Cambodian authorities this month finished dismantling a maintenance facility at Ream base — built in 2017 with US money — after razing a tactical naval headquarters there in September.
Cambodia’s Defence Minister Tea Banh confirmed the demolition to AFP on Tuesday, drawing a rebuke from the US embassy.
