Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While the SALT talks did not completely halt the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, they were successful in slowing the growth of their nuclear arsenals. The agreements limited the number of strategic nuclear missile launchers and banned the development of new ballistic missile systems. However, both countries continued to invest heavily in their nuclear programs, leading to the buildup of massive nuclear arsenals.
