U.S. relations with mainland China thawed in the early 1970s as a result of "Ping Pong diplomacy." In the late 1990s, there was a similar thaw between America and North Korea with "basketball diplomacy" followed by an ill-fated thaw with Cuba involving "baseball diplomacy."
As unlikely as it sounds, could there be a thaw in US relations with Iran as a result of "UFO diplomacy?"
