In exchange for the removal of Soviet nuclear-capable missiles from Cuba, U.S. President John F. Kennedy agreed to the withdrawal of Jupiter missiles from Turkey and a pledge not to invade Cuba. This agreement was reached in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The withdrawal of the Jupiter missiles from Turkey was not made public at the time, as the U.S. did not want to appear weak in the eyes of its NATO allies. However, the removal of these missiles was an important part of the agreement between the U.S. and Soviet Union that helped to defuse the crisis.
