His response was an embargo.
The Cuban missile crisis.
You likely mean to limitation and disarmament of nuclear weapons. This would be the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In response to the missiles being placed in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, President John F. Kennedy implemented a naval blockade, or "quarantine," to prevent further shipments of military equipment to Cuba. He also publicly addressed the nation, revealing the existence of the missiles and demanding their removal. The crisis escalated tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but ultimately, through diplomatic negotiations, the U.S. agreed to remove its missiles from Turkey in exchange for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba.
Kennedy's Cold War strategy, known as "flexible response," emphasized a range of military options and a focus on unconventional warfare to counteract Soviet influence, rather than relying solely on nuclear deterrence as Truman did. While Truman’s approach was largely defined by the containment policy and the threat of massive retaliation, Kennedy sought to address smaller conflicts and crises through diplomacy and limited military engagement. This allowed for a more nuanced response to global tensions, exemplified by Kennedy's handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Overall, Kennedy aimed for a more adaptable and diverse strategy in confronting Cold War challenges.
The U.S. President most associated with backing the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) is Ronald Reagan. Announced in 1983, the SDI aimed to develop a missile defense system to protect the United States from nuclear missile attacks. Reagan's vision was to use advanced technology to create a protective shield, which he believed could deter Soviet aggression during the Cold War.
He ordered a naval blockade of Cuba.

The President who promoted the development of the cruise missile was Jimmy Carter. He believed the cruise missile was better than the B-1 bomber. After he left office, Ronald Reagan changed the cruise missile back to the B-1 bombers.
YOu probably mean the missile bases on Cuba. They were not yet stocked with missilles. The answer was to blockade Cuba and intercept the Russian ships that were carrying missiles there.
Nuclear missles being placed in Cuba was a MAJOR event. Known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. Another was the failed "Bay of Pigs" invasion.

In the later years of the Cold War, under President Ronald Reagan, the U.S. Navy commissioned and built the Los Angeles-class submarines and designed and manufactured the Tomahawk cruise missile. Reagan's administration emphasized military buildup and modernization as part of its overall defense strategy. The Los Angeles-class submarines were pivotal for stealth and deterrence, while the Tomahawk missile enhanced the Navy's strike capabilities.
