Answer: Détente

Explanation: Détente was a period of easing the tense relations during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. This relaxation of relations between the two countries was initiated by the then President Nixon and Brezhnev. Among other things, such a relationship involved the increase of trade exchange and cooperation between the two superpowers. Relations cooled again after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Detente should be your answer, as it is the name given to the US and USSR trying to reduce tensions. It was between Nixon of US and Brehznev of USSR
