The correct answer is

relax tensions between the united states and the soviet union.

It was a series of negotiations and deals between the US and the Soviet union which began when Nixon started visiting Leonid Brezhnev who was a Soviet official. Their idea was to ease the relations between the two countries and reduce the cold war tension.
