Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev met in Paris in 1960 primarily to discuss tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The meeting took place during the Paris Summit, which aimed to address issues such as disarmament, the status of Berlin, and overall U.S.-Soviet relations. However, the summit was marred by the U-2 incident, where an American spy plane was shot down over Soviet territory, leading to a breakdown in negotiations and heightened tensions. The meeting ultimately highlighted the deep-seated mistrust between the two superpowers.
