Respuesta :

Answer:

C.   He sought trade alliances with all nations, including communist nations.

Explanation:

As part of its foreign policy, we can say that Nixon ended the intervention of the United States in the Vietnam War in 1973 and brought back home prisoners of war (POW) - He suspended military service. He visited the People's Republic of China in 1972 for the eventual start of diplomatic relations between the two nations and the initiation of the detention of the Anti-Ballistic Missiles with the signing of a treaty with the Soviet Union that same year. His administration generally transferred the power of Washington D.C. to the states. It imposed salary and price control for ninety days, suspending the gold standard and transforming the dollar into a fiat currency. At a social level, it forced racial integration in the southern schools, establishing the Environmental Protection Agency and the beginning of the War on Cancer. Nixon also preceded the landing of the Apollo 11 Mission, which ended the space race. He was reelected in one of the most contested electoral campaigns in the history of the United States, in 1972 when he defeated George McGovern.

The correct answer to this question is B) he developed a more limited and strategic policy for the use of American troops.

The Vietnam War influenced the foreign policy of Richard Nixon in that he developed a more limited and strategic policy for the use of American troops.

President Nixon was very interested in foreign policy. Indeed, he wanted to be in control of the United States foreign policy during his tenure at the White House. He favored the counseling of Henry Kissinger –his assistant if foreign affairs- over his Secretary of State (William Rogers) or his Secretary of Defense (Marvin Laird). In the case of the usage of the military in Vietnam, Richard Nixon developed a more limited and strategic policy for the use of American troops.
