President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev Make a Deal—Cuban Missile Crisis, Day Thirteen

On the thirteenth day of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Khrushchev announced the dismantling and return of Soviet missiles, and Kennedy welcomed the move while halting surveillance and quarantine enforcement. He kept secret his pledge to remove Jupiter missiles from Turkey, confirmed only in 1989.
