What occurred during the détente era?

Limitation of arms

Explanation: The Détente era was a period which saw the easing of Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union from 1967 to 1979. The era was a time of increased trade and cooperation with the Soviet Union. Nixon traveled to Moscow, where he met with the Russian Premier and discussed matters such as arms limitation, prevention of nuclear war, and increased trade between the United States and the Soviet Union.
