Provided an opportunity for peace talks.
Explanation: SDI alarmed the USSR and increased pressure to negotiate rather than match an expensive U.S. space-based defense. That helped bring Reagan and Gorbachev into high‑level arms‑control talks (e.g., Reykjavik, INF Treaty), though SDI did not itself end the Cold War or reduce U.S. warheads.
