It seems like everyone so far has said this, but his most successful and immediate actions in regard to foreign policy was putting an end to the Korean war. It was eating up a lot of US funding, and killing way too many people in all parties invovled (without showing results). We had already successfully push the North Koreans back, therefore fulfilling the demands of our "containment policy," and If we had dragged the war out much longer, it could've escalated into something much worse. It's unlikely that with China's help we could've gotten much done in terms of taking down the North Korean government. Eisenhower made a smart move.
