Nikita Khrushchev WA the leader of Russia during Kennedy's presidential reign. He was most well known for being responsible for the Cuban missile Crisis, which was a very serious nuclear threat to the US. this event really hurt the USSR and the US's relationship.

Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's lack of respect for President John F. Kennedy stemmed from several factors, including the latter's perceived inexperience and the tense backdrop of the Cold War. Khrushchev viewed Kennedy as a young and politically naive leader, especially after the Bay of Pigs invasion, which he saw as a failed attempt by the U.S. to undermine Cuban sovereignty. Additionally, Khrushchev's aggressive approach to foreign policy and belief in Soviet superiority contributed to his dismissive attitude towards Kennedy, whom he thought could be easily manipulated.
President Kennedy secretly offered Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev the removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey in exchange for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba. This concession was not publicly acknowledged at the time, allowing both leaders to save face. The agreement effectively de-escalated the crisis and averted potential military conflict, leading to a mutual understanding between the superpowers.

President Kennedy informed Americans that he had taken three key actions: he established a naval blockade around Cuba to prevent further Soviet shipments of missiles, he called for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles already present in Cuba, and he sought a peaceful resolution through negotiations with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. These actions were part of his response during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, aimed at ensuring national security and avoiding nuclear conflict.
