On 11 October 1986, a historic moment unfolded as US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev convened for a summit in Reykjavik, Iceland, marking a pivotal step in the ongoing Cold War negotiations.
The two leaders engaged in candid discussions aimed at reducing the nuclear arsenals of both superpowers, a move that held the potential to redefine global peace dynamics.
Although the talks fell short of a comprehensive agreement, they laid the groundwork for future arms control treaties and signaled a shift in US-Soviet relations towards greater cooperation and dialogue.
