The foreign policies during the Presidency of Nixon are very noteworthy. His main operative in dealing with the foreign affairs was National Security Council director Henry Kissinger. Nixon's foreign policy achievements was described as " the establishment of détente with the Soviet Union and the opening relations with China."" (p.97).The policy of détente followed by Nixon eased the tension with the Soviet Union. Nixon repudiated his anti-Communist past and became the first US president to visit the Soviet Union when he traveled to Moscow in May of 1972. He sought peace with the opposing super-power and initiated negotiations with the Soviet Union to limit nuclear weapons, which resulted in the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT).It also made both the U.S and the Soviet Union to cooperate in health research, space exploration, trade, and pollution control. Another foreign policy during Nixon's period was establishing diplomatic relations with China. Nixon was a strong supporter of Nationalist China (Taiwan) and later he established friendly relations with People's Republic of China. Nixon visited the mainland, and both nations agreed to a policy of peaceful coexistence. This resulted in a resumption of trade, accepting agreement by the U.S that Taiwan was part of China, withdrawal of U.S troops from Taiwan and also continuing the U.S diplomatic and trade relations with Taiwan. Thus Nixon's foreign policies set close ties with the other superpower, Soviet nation and with China. .
Vietnam War was one of the major obstacles during Nixon's presidency and his main objective was to withdraw all the American troops from South Vietnam. By doing this Nixon feared he would loose the War. In early 1970, he authorized bombings on both North Vietnam and Cambodia. This stirred the American students and many strikes were held protesting the government. Two weeks after the bombings began, Nixon announced that peace negotiations were soon to resume, and by January 28, 1973, a cease fire was established that allowed the US to remove its reaming 23,700 troops and end its twelve-year military involvement in Vietnam.
