Explanation:

The shift toward détente influence U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War by "convincing the United States leaders to provide more support to foreign anti-communist groups."

While Detente is a shift from a direct foreign policy of containment by the U.S. to a situation where the U.S. must dialogue with countries based on their strength and not agree with government policies.
