This comments upon the talks in Geneva between the foreign ministers of the USSR, France, Britain and the US where conlcusions were not reached over east-west relations, nuclear weapons and the problem of Berlin. The US decided to try and negotiate with the USSR alone. President Eisenhower had a summit meeting with Khrushchev in Moscow, signalling that there were now only two 'superpowers' on the world stage. |
