Détente with the Soviet Union collapsed when Soviet troops invaded [[Afghanistan]] in December 1979. President Carter responded by imposing an [[embargo]] on the sale of grain to the Soviet Union, humiliating Moscow by orchestrating a western boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow, and start funding and arming the anti-Soviet forces inside Afghanistan. The policy of détente that was established by President Nixon was over and the "Second Cold War" began.

In 1976, Edward Kennedy presented before the U.S. Senate a bill known as the [[Kennedy Amendment]] to modify the Foreign Military Assistance Act in order to exclude Chile from the military aid that his country provided to the Latin American republics that had signed the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (TIAR). He was in opposition to President [[Augusto Pinochet Ugarte]] who was leading the [[Military Government (Chile)|Military Government]]. The restrictions were approved and supported by the administration and began to apply to Chile in October 1977.
Later on was applied to Argentina and other countries.
