Answer 2

The Soviet leader, "Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev".

The Soviets had "captured and imprisoned the plane pilot".

To meet in Paris to discuss the possibility of a policy of "new agreements on nuclear arms production and testing".

Step-by-step explanation:

An international political crisis erupted in May 1960, when the USSR blown out of the sky an American U-2 spy plane in Soviet airspace and arrested its pilot. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was forced to admit to the Soviets that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had been flying spy missions over the USSR for several years, which he denied.

But the Soviet leader Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev had evidences including the captured plan pilot, so president Eisenhower couldn't deny it again.

A summit was meant to be held at Paris to discuss the possibility of a policy of new agreements on nuclear arms production and testing.
