Following their Reykjavik summit in 1986, during which they discussed the elimination of all strategic nuclear weapons, Reagan and Gorbachev met on several other occasions and developed a personal friendship.
Nakon summita u Reykjaviku 1996. godine, na kojem su razgovarali o eliminaciji cjelokupnog strateškog nuklearnog oružja, Reagan i Gorbačov susreli su se više puta i razvili osobno prijateljstvo.
