Abstract: US policy towards Cambodia following the ousting of Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh has been confused, and some Republicans have queried the US response. US officials have denounced the use of violence by Hun Sen in taking power, but they have also accused Ranariddh of negotiating with the Khmer Rouge. The US State Department withdrew aid to Cambodia following the violence, but for only 30 days. The US continues to acknowledge Ranariddh as first prime minister, but it has not pressed for him to be reinstated as government leader.
