Answer:

The Soviet leader was premier Nikita Khrushchev

The United States leader was president John F. Kennedy.

The Cuban President was Fidel Castro

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cuban Missile Crisis began in 1962 after the Soviet Union leaders began to put missiles in Cuba that targeted American cities.

This led to a 13 day military and political standoff between the Soviet and American leaders before it was agreed that the missiles would be withdrawn.
