What treaty did Bush sign with Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev? |
Bush and Gorbachev signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, in which both countries pledged to reduce their nuclear arms. Bush called the treaty a “significant step forward in dispelling half a century of mistrust.” It was these two leaders—Bush and Gorbachev—who played a key role in the historic ending of the Cold War, a truly remarkable accomplishment between the two superpowers.
