The Crisis Over Cuba Is Completely Liquidated

In the final days of November 1962, Mikoyan went to Washington for a sit-down with Kennedy. He tried to persuade his Cuban host bit by bit to meet him halfway on the final negotiations coming together with the Americans. In the end, after a lot of back and forth, the demand for on-site inspections was dropped. RFK interfaced with Georgi Bolschikov and the advisor John McCloy met with a Soviet negotiator. The military blockade was lifted, but the economic embargo still exists today.
