The Gary Powers U-2 incident in May 1960, where an American spy plane was shot down over Soviet airspace, heightened tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. This event exposed the extent of U.S. espionage and led to a deterioration in diplomatic relations, undermining trust. The subsequent failure of a planned summit between President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev intensified Cold War hostilities, setting the stage for the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, where the U.S. and the USSR were pushed to the brink of nuclear conflict.
