The summit between Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in September 1959, held in Camp David, marked a significant moment in Cold War diplomacy. It was the first time a Soviet leader visited the United States, and discussions focused on reducing tensions and addressing issues like disarmament and the arms race. While the summit produced a positive atmosphere and some agreements, it ultimately failed to resolve major differences, particularly concerning nuclear weapons and the status of Berlin. The meeting highlighted the challenges of U.S.-Soviet relations during this era.

The planned summit meeting in Paris between Eisenhower and Khrushchev in 1960 was canceled because of the U-2 incident.
