How did pres Kennedy respond to the soviet shipment of missiles to Cuba?

President John F. Kennedy responded to the Soviet shipment of missiles to Cuba by implementing a naval blockade, which he referred to as a "quarantine," to prevent further shipments of military equipment to the island. He publicly addressed the nation on October 22, 1962, revealing the presence of the missiles and emphasizing the United States' commitment to defending its interests. Kennedy also demanded the removal of the missiles and initiated diplomatic negotiations with the Soviet Union to resolve the crisis peacefully. This tense standoff marked a critical moment in the Cold War, known as the Cuban Missile Crisis.
