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.

President Nixons effort to ease Cold War tensions was known as the Detente.
It was part of Nixon's policy of detente, which was the easing of tensions between the United States and the communist nations in the world (namely China and Soviet Russia). His visit was intended to reopen relations with China and promote a less aggressive, less hostile environment.
Detente means to relax or to relief tension. When the cold war started Detente first kept thing relaxing but as it went on it got worse.
