Kennedy stated that any missile attack from Cuba would be regarded as an attack from the Soviet Union and would be responded to accordingly. Khrushchev later conceded, agreeing to remove the weapons if, in return, the United States pledged not to invade the island.

Historians regard the crisis as the worlds closest brush with the threat of nuclear war.According to the information given in this passage, it is most likely that President Kennedy
