jun 1, 1988 - Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty

Description:

Reagan and Gorbachev met on several occasions to discuss arms control. The treaty was the first agreement of its kind aimed to reduce the number of nuclear missiles in each superpower’s arsenal. It initially only covered one type of missile, but cleared the way for future arms to be discussed. This treaty was crucial in Reagan’s presidency because it stabilized relations between the US and Soviets.
