Khrushchev Signals Thant Bid in Cuba Crisis
Western diplomats saw Premier Khrushchev conditional approval of Thant’s mediation as groundwork for a UN appearance. He reportedly ordered Soviet ships with arms away from Cuba, while others headed toward the island remain under quarantine. The Bucharest, the first blocked ship, was allowed to pass after an exchange. Thant planned separate talks with the United States, Soviet Union, and Cuba, starting with Ambassador Stevenson. Stevenson pressed for proof of halt to arms shipments and missile base construction if talks proceed. Thant proposed a two to three week cooling off, during which the blockade might pause, but Kennedy did not suspend the blockade in his reply. The White House stressed the blockade remains in force as nuclear tensions persist.
