At a ceremony in the Rose Garden, President Trump said the turkeys weighed about 50 pounds each.

His remarks were interrupted a few times by a gobble from Gobble.

The president, for his part, will spend his holiday in Florida.

Earlier this year, a decades-old border dispute reignited between Cambodia and Thailand.

Trump helped bring about a ceasefire when he threatened higher tariffs on both countries.

And in October, he went to Malaysia to preside over the peace agreement.

Leaders there praised Trump for his help, and he included the peace agreement as one of the several wars he's ended.

But the conflict isn't actually over.

In recent days, a shooting in the disputed area and a landmine explosion have tested the terms of the ceasefire agreement.

The White House says the president is in touch with Malaysia as well to help bring an end to the recent violence.
