Khrushchev presses for Moscow Paris axis
Khrushchev arrived in Paris after an 18 hour day and outlined four aims: lure France from West Germany ties to a French Soviet understanding, back a German peace treaty on Soviet terms, push for disarmament on Soviet terms, and weaken NATO and the Western European Union.
