On July 16, 1982 Shultz was sworn in as the 60th Secretary of State of the United States in the Reagan [[administration]]. He worked to resolve conflicts in the [[Middle East]] and route out international [[terrorism]]. In terms of dealing with the [[Cold War]], he supported Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). At the [[Reykjavík Summit]],  [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] proposed on October 11, 1986 a plan toward multilateral nuclear disarmament that included a halt to SDI but Reagan rejected this condition and thus the proposal in its entirety. Shultz gave Reagan his full support on this decision.<ref>http://www.turmoilandtriumph.org/coldwar/reykjavik_summit.php</ref>

After Reagan's presidency, Shultz became a professor at [[Stanford University]]'s Hoover Institute and Graduate School of Business. In an interview in a 2001 interview about the summit, he was asked: "Peter Robinson: Da. George, was an historic opportunity squandered, we'll put in the passive to include both Gorbachev and Reagan? George Shultz: He didn't say nyet, he said no. Peter Robinson: … and you backed him up. George Shultz: Absolutely."<ref>http://www.hoover.org/research/crack-ice-legacy-reykjavik-summit</ref> Shultz would later talk and write about the [[paradox]] of nuclear deterrence, obviously rejecting unilateral disarmament, but lamenting the short period of time that a President has to make decisions about [[nuclear war]]. On January 15, 2008, an article entitled "Toward a Nuclear-Free World" by Shultz and [[William Perrty]], [[Henry Kissinger]] and [[Sam Nunn]] was published in the [[Wall Street Journal]].<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB120036422673589947</ref> On May 11, 2009, he spoke at the Stanford Memorial Church at the center of the campus quadrangle, where he emphasized the importance of "living in the future" in relation to ridding the world of all nuclear weapons.<ref>https://rathbun.stanford.edu/honorable-george-p-shultz</ref>
