17 oct. 1962 - Robert Kennedy meets with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko

Description:

Attorney General Robert Kennedy keeps a previously scheduled meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, but does not mention the missiles. Gromyko tells Kennedy that the only help the Soviet Union is giving to Cuba is assistance growing crops and missiles that are only for defense.

The fact that the S.U was involved in any way was a disadvantage to the US because they still had tentions between them and the Soviet Union has bad intentions towards them and oculd significantly help Cuba.
