Nixon's policy of détente began in the late 1960s and continued throughout the early 1970s, particularly marked by significant events like the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) in 1972 and his visit to China the same year. This approach aimed to ease tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Détente represented a shift from the confrontational stance of previous years to a more diplomatic engagement.
