Answer:

The tensest moment between Cuba and the United States occurred during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Castro allowed the Soviet Union, an ally, to place nuclear weapons in Cuba, only 90 miles off the coast of Florida. For the next 13 days, the USSR and the U.S. engaged in a nuclear standoff. The Soviet Union eventually removed the missiles in exchange for the U.S. removing its missiles from Turkey.

“Following the American embargo, the Soviet Union became Cuba's main ally. The two Communist countries quickly developed close military and intelligence ties, culminating in the stationing of Soviet nuclear weapons in Cuba in 1962, an act which triggered the Cuban Missile Crisis.” Rephrase answer in your own words, hope this helps.
