The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks II (SALT II) agreement was signed by U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev on June 18, 1979. This agreement aimed to limit the number of strategic nuclear weapons and was a significant step in easing Cold War tensions. Although it was signed, the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan later that year.
