Detailed explanation-1: -The next morning, October 28, Khrushchev issued a public statement that Soviet missiles would be dismantled and removed from Cuba. The crisis was over but the naval quarantine continued until the Soviets agreed to remove their IL–28 bombers from Cuba and, on November 20, 1962, the United States ended its quarantine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Cuban missile crisis showed that neither the United States nor the Soviet Union were ready to use nuclear weapons for fear of the other’s retaliation (and thus of mutual atomic annihilation). The two superpowers soon signed the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty of 1963, which banned aboveground nuclear weapons testing.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Deal Ends the Standoff During the crisis, the Americans and Soviets had exchanged letters and other communications, and on October 26, Khrushchev sent a message to Kennedy in which he offered to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for a promise by U.S. leaders not to invade Cuba.
Detailed explanation-4: -The USSR agreed to take the missiles out of Cuba. The U. S. agreed not to invade Cuba and to remove the missiles in Turkey, provided that the removal of the missiles in Turkey was to remain secret. The next morning, Khrushchev announced that the missiles were being dismantled.
