1. Nixon's actions had long lasting benefits for the United States, yet his actions also proved to be the reason for his decline as president. He started off by ending the United States involvement in the Vietnam War through Vietnamization. He improved relations with the United States and the People's Republic of China which would come to reap great benefits for both countries in the decades following. China today is one of our leading industry locations and trading partners. Nixon also strove for his policy of detente by organizing the official signing agreement of SALT by both the United States and the Soviet Union. This was a major step of peaceful agreements between the two power countries as it limited the number of nuclear weapons made.
