In response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979, President Jimmy Carter implemented a series of measures aimed at countering Soviet expansionism. He announced a boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics and increased military aid to Afghan resistance fighters, known as the Mujahideen. Carter also emphasized the importance of the Carter Doctrine, which stated that the U.S. would use military force to protect its interests in the Persian Gulf region. Additionally, he implemented economic sanctions against the Soviet Union.
One way in which President Carter responded to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan was by boycotting the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Carter also stopped technology and grain shipments to the communist nation.
