Explanation

After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, President Carter announced a U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, stopped grain shipments to the Soviet Union, and withdrew the SALT II treaty from Senate consideration. The United States also supported the mujahideen, so avoiding support for them was not a response. The U.S. did not force its allies to boycott Soviet goods.
