What is the objective of salt one Treaty?

The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) I Treaty, signed in 1972 between the United States and the Soviet Union, aimed to curtail the arms race by limiting the development and deployment of strategic ballistic missile systems. The treaty established a framework for both nations to freeze the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) at existing levels, thereby promoting stability and reducing the risk of nuclear conflict. Additionally, it sought to enhance transparency and build trust between the superpowers during the Cold War.
