Nixon's pardoning created backlash and controversy, as many felt he was being let off the hook for his involvement in the Watergate scandal. However, his efforts to improve international relations were seen as successes, particularly in opening diplomatic ties with China. His work on the Camp David Accords helped to negotiate peace between Israel and Egypt.
Despite these successes, Nixon also faced challenges in managing the economy, as inflation rates soared during his presidency. His attempts to address this issue through wage and price controls were controversial and ultimately unsuccessful. His administration did enact various legislative measures to try to combat high energy costs and regulate the oil industry. Despite these efforts, Nixon's economic policies remained a point of contention during his time in office.
