President Richard M Nixon's most astonishing foreign policy reversal was his opening of relations with the People's Republic of China.
The goal of US foreign policy under Richard Nixon's presidency (1969–1974) was to lessen the threat of a Cold War between China and the Soviet Union. The strategy of President Richard Nixon aimed for détente with both countries, which were hostile to both the United States and one another.
