Finally in May 1972, President Nixon and Soviet Premier Brezhnev signed the SALT I treaty in Moscow. The most important parts of the agreement were the Treaty on Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Systems and the Interim Agreement and Protocol on Limitation of Strategic Offensive Weapons. The Interim Agreement froze each side's number of ICBMs and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) at current levels for five years, pending negotiation of a more detailed SALT II. The ABM Treaty limited each side to two ABM sites, one protecting the national capital, the other a long-range missile site. After years of hostility, the Soviet Union and the United States had agreed to curb spiraling arms-race costs and reduce the risk of nuclear war.

Nixon wanted to open up China and took several steps to do so such as reducing trade restrictions. The Chinese reciprocated by inviting the American ping pong team creating "ping pong diplomacy" opening the door to a visit by Nixon. That's where the saying "only Nixon could go to China" is usually cited to come from.

Ultimately, the relaxed relations between China and the US eventually spooked the Soviets (which was indirectly what Nixon hoped) who believed it would lead to an alliance between the two (despite Nixon's anti-communist rhetoric) leading to a period of detente between them.
