President Reagan responded to the Soviet nuclear threat with a combination of military buildup and diplomatic engagement. He initiated the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to develop missile defense systems aimed at protecting the U.S. from nuclear attacks. Reagan also engaged in arms reduction negotiations, leading to significant treaties such as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 1987, which aimed to eliminate an entire class of nuclear weapons. His approach emphasized both deterrence and the pursuit of dialogue to reduce tensions.
