Paris Summit Meeting
1960 summit between Eisenhower and Khrushchev that collapsed after the U-2 Incident, derailing a potential US-Soviet detente.
The Paris Summit Meeting was scheduled for a few weeks after the U-2 Incident in May 1960, but was ruined by Nikita Khrushchev's rage at the incident, which caught the White House in a series of lies. This event led Eisenhower to order an end to all reconnaissance flights over Russia.1
