During the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove nuclear weapons from Cuba if the United States did what? Correct Answer remove missiles from Turkey
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev reciprocated the installation of nuclear missiles in Turkey by the United States by planning to install missiles in Cuba. When spy planes photographed missiles already on the island, U.S. President John F. Kennedy ordered a quarantine of Cuba to stop further military shipments, a risky proposition that nearly turned the Cold War hot. Kennedy agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey, but only at a later date so as to not give the appearance of capitulation.
