No, they had been put there by Eisenhower. By the time of the Cuban Missile crisis in 1962 they were already obsolete and Kennedy was considering replacing them with something newer or simply removing them and depending on longer range missiles based further from the border of the USSR. As part of the agreement with Kruschev to remove the missile launchers from Cuba, Kennedy secretly agreed to remove the missiles the US had in Turkey and not replace them.

Does the US believe that Japan has nuclear weapons?
This is actually a rather complicated situation.On the "yes" side: Japan certainly has the expertise, technology and equipment to construct nuclear weapons. They also have ready access to weapons-grade raw materials.On the "no" side: Japan has a non-nuclear policy (to be clear here: that refers to weapons, not reactors for generating power) and construction of nuclear weapons may be forbidden by their constitution (whether or not small "tactical" nuclear weapons would be forbidden is a question of interpretation). So far as is known, they've never conducted any nuclear weapons testing... and the US would almost certainly know if they had.Probably the best answer is: there's no particular reason to believe that Japan has nuclear weapons at this moment, but there's also no particular reason to believe they couldn't put one or more together on very short notice if they really wanted to.

It depends a little bit on who "they" are, but artillery-launched tactical nuclear warheads are not only plausible, they have been made. Both the U.S. and the Soviet Union developed small, kiloton-range nuclear weapons for battlefield use. These weapons took the form of artillery cannon rounds and unguided rockets.
