What was the main goal of the SALT Agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union?

  1. To promote free trade between the two countries

  2. To limit the number of nuclear warheads and missiles

  3. To end the Cold War

  4. To establish a cooperative economic relationship

The correct answer is: To limit the number of nuclear warheads and missiles

The main goal of the SALT Agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union was to limit the number of nuclear warheads and missiles possessed by both countries. This agreement aimed to reduce the threat of nuclear war by implementing arms control measures and increasing transparency between the two superpowers. The other options are not correct because the SALT Agreement specifically focused on arms control and nuclear weapons reduction, rather than promoting free trade, ending the Cold War, or establishing a cooperative economic relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union.
