Fidel Worried About Nixon Visit Moscow Visit Sparks Cuban Ties
Kosygin last visited Cuba in 1967 after meeting Lyndon B. Johnson in Glassboro New Jersey. Moscow Havana relations were tense with no communique after the four day visit. US officials say Castro’s support for revolution irritated Soviet Cuban ties as they sought better Latin American relations. Since 1968 Soviet aid to Cuba rose as Castro backed the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. A Soviet task force including a cruiser and submarine is expected to arrive at a Cuban port aligning with Kosygin’s visit.
