Were the US and USSR able to live up to Nixon’s goal? In 2 sentence plz.

Yes.  Nixon's goal which was to restore relations with Russia was achieved by capitalizing on Russia's strained relations with China.

Explanation:

The competition in arms development and other technological inventions between the United States and Russia, made the two countries rivals during President Nixon's rule. Even though President Nixon was not an advocate of Communism, he went on the route of restoring relations between the United States and Russia. He used the knowledge of the rivalry between China and Russia to his advantage.

He believed that if he restored relations with China, Russia would not want to stand alone. This plan worked, following his relaxation of trade barriers with China and subsequent visit to China in 1972. Russia not wanting to be alone, welcomed Nixon's visit to Russia in 1972, where they both signed the Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty (SALT 1).
