Dwight D. Eisenhower’s most famous 1952 campaign pledge was that he would personally go to Korea if elected to see how to end the Korean War. He repeatedly promised voters, in effect, “I shall go to Korea” and campaigned on restoring peace and bringing U.S. troops home.

He never actually traveled there, but after taking office he used diplomatic pressure and military options he kept in reserve to push negotiations forward; the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed in July 1953. If you want primary-source quotes or a timeline of what he did after the election, I can pull those up.
