Answer 1

The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) were aimed at achieving arms control agreements between the United States and the Soviet Union. Specifically, the goal was to limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons and reduce the risk of nuclear war between the two superpowers. The SALT negotiations focused on limiting the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and strategic bombers in each country's arsenal. The agreements reached during the SALT talks were designed to promote stability and reduce the threat of nuclear conflict during the Cold War.
