In simple terms, the USA forced Cuba to turn to the USSR for help.

The US also took Cuban assets in the United States away, not allowing the Castro government to get them back. The fact that the Cuban revolution had been led by Socialists also helped the Cuban-Soviet relations. As Fidel Castro told American journalists when asked about his friendship with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev "You leave us without petroleum, Khrushchev gave us petroleum. You do not buy our sugar, Khrushchev buys our sugar. Your leaders speak of aggression towards Cuba, Khrushchev speaks of friendship with Cuba. You took away our aeroplanes, Khrushchev lends us his aeroplanes. Khrushchev is our friend."
