Answer:
Option: They shot down an American spy plane.
Explanation:
In the 1960s, the Soviet Union shot down a U-2 spy plane and captured its pilot, Gary Francis Powers. The United States denied the aircraft to be used for surveillance, claiming to be a weather plane. The Soviet, with the capture of the pilot and wreckage, declared part of the CIA. At last Dwight D. Eisenhower compelled to admit that it had been spying on the Soviet.
Tensions from the incident were high when Eisenhower and Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev arrived in Paris to begin a summit meeting in May. He wasted no time in blaming the United States, declaring that President Eisenhower would not be welcome in the Soviet Union during his visit in June. The president was furious for the public humiliation of the United States.
The collapse of the 1960 summit meeting was a shock to both countries, who thought there was a peaceful rapprochement between the two superpowers.
