Johnson seeks broader U.S. ties with global powers
In 1964 Johnson and Secretary of State Rusk aim to inject dynamism into Latin American relations, aid India without alienating Pakistan, and bolster U.S. influence in Southeast Asia. They prefer Khrushchev’s moderation to Red China’s aggression, will quietly support his position, and discourage Western recognition or trade with Red China unless China signals a change. They also keep doors open for possible talks with Communist China if Beijing shifts policy.
