The Salt II Treaty, aimed at limiting nuclear arms between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, was not ratified by the U.S. Senate largely due to rising tensions following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Critics argued that ratifying the treaty would undermine U.S. security and allow the Soviets to gain an advantage. Additionally, there were concerns about verification and compliance, leading to a lack of bipartisan support. Ultimately, President Jimmy Carter's efforts to secure ratification were unsuccessful, and the treaty was never formally adopted.
