The system was dubbed Star Wars.

The Strategic Defense Initiative was a missile defense system intended to protect the United States from attacks from nuclear weapons. It was announced  by President Reagan on 23 March 1983.

The SDI was nicknamed 'Star Wars' by the Democrat  Senator Ted Kennedy, after the 1977 film by George Lucas.

SDI focused on intercepting and destroying enemy missiles with lase beams, using x-rays lasers. Chemical laser was also in use, as well as neutral particle beam and hyper- velocity railgun.

SDI officially ended in 1993, under the Clinton administration.

Romashka [77]

The correct answer is B. Negotiating a treaty with Mexico.

Explanation

Foreign policy is the name by which the decisions and actions taken by a State are known to favor the national and international interests of the countries involved. In short, foreign policy groups the agreements, negotiations, and decisions of two or more nations to establish economic, political, and social relations. So if a country like the United States establishes negotiations for a treaty with Mexico, it would be a matter of foreign policy because it involves the interests of two countries and their needs and interests. According to the above, the correct answer is B. Negotiating a treaty with Mexico.
