Soviets ready to resume U S trade and summit talks
Premier Nikolai A. Tikhonov announced at the 26th Communist Party congress that the Soviet Union is prepared to develop economic ties with the United States on equal, mutual benefit and that trade with the U.S. should be expanded with capitalist partners adopting a constructive approach. He noted 1980 trade fell to 1.96 billion from 4.48 billion in 1979, blaming U.S. policy such as the grain embargo. Kremlin aides warned against tying the U S Soviet summit to the El Salvador issue. Brezhnev proposed a new round of arms talks aligning with detente.
