Cuba was to remain independent and it would not hold Soviet missiles, however neither the USA or the USSR could directly invade Cuba again. The USA would have to remove short-range missiles from Turkey, however this was not to be exposed and would follow after the Crisis had been amended. a hotline was set up between the White House and the Kremlin and helped improve the relationship between the USA and USSR.
