Khrushchev Says No Summit Without U S Apology
Khrushchev declared there can be no summit with Eisenhower De Gaulle and Macmillan unless the United States apologizes for the U2 incident and punishes those responsible. He repeated the demand in informal interviews and a Soviet Embassy statement as Eisenhower disclosed that U S spy flights over the Soviet Union are halted. De Gaulle invited Khrushchev to join the Western leaders, but Khrushchev refused the invitation, insisting on satisfaction first.
