President John F. Kennedy was relieved when he heard about the Berlin Wall because it symbolized a clear and stable division between East and West, which reduced the immediate threat of conflict in Europe. The wall provided a tangible boundary that helped contain the spread of communism and allowed the U.S. to focus on diplomatic strategies rather than military confrontation. Additionally, it showcased the desperation of the East German regime to prevent its citizens from fleeing to the West, thereby highlighting the weaknesses of communism.
