The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) treaties aimed to curb the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. SALT I, signed in 1972, established limits on the number of strategic ballistic missile launchers and created a framework for future arms control negotiations. SALT II, signed in 1979, sought to further reduce the number of nuclear weapons and promote stability in U.S.-Soviet relations, although it was never ratified by the U.S. Senate. Overall, the treaties reflected a mutual recognition of the dangers posed by nuclear proliferation.
