The American government discovered the plans and set up a blockade around cuba and caused russia to withdraw its missiles. While in power, it was estimated that there were 638 attempts on Castro's life by the CIA, all failing of course. The following years Cuba had very strained relations with America which caused a trade embargo with cuba that still is in effect today.
