PHNOM PENH -- The U.S. government has announced it is assessing whether to help finance a nearly-completed airport near the Cambodian capital, a move that comes amid growing tariff tensions between the two countries, the halting of virtually all of Washington's aid to Phnom Penh and only weeks after Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the Southeast Asian nation.
The U.S. State Department's International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), started by President Donald Trump in his first term to finance private sector projects, this week released an environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) for the Techo Takhmao International Airport in Kandal province, 20 kilometers south of the Cambodian capital.
