Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

SALT is acronym for Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. It was a two rounds of bilateral conferences on the issue of controlling use of fire arms.

Basically, SALT was an international treaty signed by the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). These agreement were signed in two phases; the first interim agreement known as SALT I was signed on the 26th of May, 1972 while the second agreement known as SALT II was signed on the 18th of June, 1979 by Jimmy Carter and Leonid Brezhnev at the Hofburg palace, Vienna, Switzerland.

Hence, the SALT agreement didn't by any means allow Americans to buy salt more cheaply but it ensured there was a limitation to the use of submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), anti-ballistic missile (ABM) and other strategic offensive arms by the United States of America and the Soviet Union.
