Which did President Carter fail to do?

Answer
A
promote détente with Communist countries

take action against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

Explanation

President Carter helped broker the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, and he responded to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan by taking actions such as imposing an embargo.
