Final answer:

Khrushchev agreed to remove Soviet missiles from Cuba in exchange for a U.S. promise not to invade Cuba, with a secret deal to also remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.

Step-by-step explanation:

On October 24, 1962, during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Chairman Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union responded to President Kennedy's demands by seeking a peaceful resolution. Chairman Khrushchev agreed to remove the Soviet missiles from Cuba in exchange for President Kennedy's promise not to invade Cuba.

Additionally, a secret agreement entailed the United States removing its missiles from Turkey, which was not made public at the time.
