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.
Posle samita u Rejkjaviku 1996. godine, na kojem su razgovarali o eliminaciji svog strateškog nuklearnog naoružanja, Regan i Gorbačov susreli su se više puta i razvili lično prijateljstvo.
