The correct answer is Richard Nixon
So why is this answer correct? : Richard Nixon finally brought an end to the Vietnam War for the U.S. in January 1973. While Nixon initially stated that a silent majority supported the war, he ultimately pulled troops out via a peace agreement with the North Vietnamese Army. After more than $120 billion in costs and the loss of more than 50,000 American lives, the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War came to an end.
