Detailed explanation-1: -Nixon’s primary focus while in office was on foreign affairs. He focused on détente with the People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union, easing Cold War tensions with both countries.
Detailed explanation-2: -He moved away from the traditional American policy of containment of Communism, hoping each side would seek American favor. Nixon’s 1972 visit to China ushered in a new era of U.S.-China relations and effectively removed China as a Cold War foe.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nixon ended American involvement in Vietnam combat in 1973 and the military draft with it that same year.
