After meeting with Nikita Khrushchev at the 1961 conference in Vienna, President Kennedy found the Soviet leader to be a tough and uncompromising negotiator. This experience contributed to Kennedy's perception of a need for a stronger stance against Soviet actions. As a result, Kennedy increased defense spending and worked to bolster U.S. military capabilities in response to the Cold War tensions. The Vienna Summit did not lead to significant agreements, but it did set the tone for the subsequent developments in U.S.-Soviet relations during Kennedy's presidency.
