President Carter and Soviet premier Leonid Brezhnev signed an agreement known as SALT II. However, President Carter did not push the U.S. Senate to ratify the treaty. Why did President Carter not fight for SALT II?

Had to look for the options and here is my answer. Based on the scenario above regarding President Carter and Soviet premier Leonid Brezhnev about the signing of SALT II, the reason why President Carter never fought for SALT II was the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan. Hope this helps.
