SEN

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

After the Vietnam War, Nixon visited China to develop relations with the People's Republic of China. This was one of the first tranquil interactions between Americans and communists. This meeting raised the Soviet Union's interest in detente or peace. Right after visiting China, Nixon visited Moscow where he and Brezhnev agreed on the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), limiting the possibility of nuclear war. Nixon used his diplomatic negotiations in China to lead to detente with the Soviet Union.
