How did President Nixon’s policy of détente change US foreign relations with Communist nations?

Détente was a policy of easing tensions between the United States and Communist nations, especially the Soviet Union. Nixon’s administration pursued negotiation and agreements rather than relying mainly on confrontation. It reduced tensions but did not end the Cold War in the early 1970s, so the correct choice is “It led away from confrontation and toward negotiation instead.”
