The U.S. government sought to remove Soviet missiles from Cuba primarily to eliminate a direct threat to national security, as these missiles were capable of striking the U.S. mainland within minutes. The presence of these missiles heightened tensions during the Cold War, creating a precarious situation that could lead to nuclear confrontation. Additionally, removing the missiles would restore the balance of power in the region and reinforce U.S. influence in Latin America. Overall, it was a strategic move to ensure the safety and stability of the United States and its allies.

Why do you think the US government wanted to remove Soviet missiles in?
The secret build up of offensive Soviet missiles was discovered by a U-2 Spy plane overflight of the tiny island. President Kennedy, considered an invasion of Cuba after the discovery, similar to the failed Bay of Pigs invasion 18 months earlier.After much discussion, he opted for a "Quarantine," of Cuba, which resulted in a naval blockade around the island. Kennedy demanded that the Soviets remove the missiles, however NikitaKhrushchev, publicly denounced the plan.In order for both parties to show their strength as leaders, a back room deal was had, out of view of the public on each side. The Soviets said they would remove the missiles, if the United States agreed to never invade Cuba again.Unknown to the world for over 25 years, was an even more shocking agreement. To sweeten the deal, and allay the Soviets fears of missiles on their borders, Kennedy agreed to remove America's Jupiter missiles from Turkey and Italy.

Publicly and chronologically speaking, the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty is about nuclear tests, and was signed after Kennedy forced the Soviets to withdraw their missiles. In my opinion, the way you put it, he may have wanted america to seem to be a force for peace. Good question, president-wise.
