On this visit Nixon and his wife pat toured the Great Wall of china and other chinese sights . Nixon and I met with Meo Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai about international problems and how to deal with them .later on both came up with the agreement of expanding cultural contacts between the two nations . Nixon established a plan for a permanent U.S trade mission . Which was a good thing because it wasn't always this way . The only issues there were was that formal relations were not restored and it would take a few more years . Nixon did achieve his goal because china soon began to see greater trade relations . ]]> 2018-03-16 13:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/paigenewsome16/azh0z6sh6jx0/wish/242806869 paigenewsome16 https://padlet.com/paigenewsome16/azh0z6sh6jx0/wish/242819754 We traveled to Vietnam to call for peace negotiations but also discuss troop withdrawl . While on our visit The Paris peace talk began in May !968 but failed to establish an agreement Nixon also  announced a new policy known as " Vietnamization" . This Policy was to remove American forces and replace them with South Vietnamese soldiers . One issue we came across was Nixon wanting to defuse the war but he was so determined not to lose this prohibited him from passing his goal of detente . ]]> 2018-03-16 13:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/paigenewsome16/azh0z6sh6jx0/wish/242819754 paigenewsome16 https://padlet.com/paigenewsome16/azh0z6sh6jx0/wish/242842425 Nixon and i traveled to the Soviet Union to support a nuclear arms agreement.
