stalin said no and did not accept his invite
From Japan, Truman demanded unconditional surrender. From Stalin, Truman demanded free elections throughout Eastern Europe.
Stalin's plans were called the Five Year Plans.
he did nothing
Men in Crisis - 1964 Truman vs Stalin was released on: USA: 5 January 1965
Stalin voted "no" to the proposal that Allied Troops leave the country of Iran at Potsdam. This was the icing on the cake for Truman, because he was already suspicious of Stalin's intent when he invaded Poland.
The leaders of USA and Britain changed from Roosevelt (who died) to Truman, and Churchill (lost the election) to Atler. Truman severely mistrusted Stalin, more than Roosevelt, and even announced that USA had successfully tested the Atomic bomb. This made Stalin mistrust Truman as well as Truman mistrusted Stalin.

Joseph Stalin started the Five Year Plans.
President Truman did this to prevent Stalin from taking over the city. Stalin blocked supplies to Berlin to force the US and British to abandon it.
Stalin was inclined towards promoting communism into the new states. Whereas, Truman was more directed towards a democratic and capitalistic approach.
At the end of World War Two, Poland was subjugated by the Soviet Union (Stalin). Poland had been an ally (on the winning side), never the less, it was treated by Stalin as an enemy. Stalin murdered much of the Polish military & civilian leadership and replaced them with communist puppets. Stalin was one of the most ruthless, dangerous, and murderous dictators in world history. Probably the least trustworthy person alive during Truman's Presidency.
