Ted Kennedy
Wasn't that president Kennedy?
John Kennedy ordered this blockade to stop the Soviets from delivering missiles to Cuba. The incident is known as the Cubam missile crisis.
President Kennedy referred to the blockade ordered against Cuba in October 1962 as a "quarantine." He chose this term to avoid the implications of an act of war, as a blockade is typically considered an act of war under international law. The quarantine aimed to prevent further delivery of offensive military equipment to Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
