Why did first lady Jacqueline write to Khrushchev after Kennedy's assassination?

After Kennedy's assassination, the first suspect was the Soviet Union. Before Kennedy's assassination, the Cuban missile crisis had just passed. Because of Kennedy's assassination, the United States and the Soviet Union may have another nuclear war. In order to eliminate this possibility, first lady Jacqueline wrote to Khrushchev. It is also to show that the two countries should not be suspicious of each other. Avoid conflicts leading to worse results.

During the Cold War, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, were hostile, but in fact, the United States and the Soviet Union fought behind their backs or through agents. These two countries are not really fighting with each other, but still have "close interaction". Of course, this "intimacy" is for the benefit of both countries.

After Kennedy's assassination, Khrushchev sent greetings to the United States and first lady Jacqueline through the Foreign Minister. However, the United States' suspicion of the Soviet Union has not been ruled out. At this time, Khrushchev was also worried that once the United States blamed the Soviet Union for Kennedy's assassination, not only the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union deteriorated, but also war might break out. Nine days after Kennedy's assassination, the Soviet Embassy in the United States received a letter from First Lady Jacqueline to Khrushchev.

Jacqueline still lives in the White House. After her husband died, the beautiful first lady wrote back to many people, including Khrushchev. Jacqueline mentioned in her letter that although Khrushchev and Kennedy were rivals, they were allies in preventing nuclear war. Jacqueline briefly reviewed the friendly relations between Khrushchev and Kennedy and also mentioned the friendly exchanges between the two countries. Jacqueline also told Khrushchev that President Johnson would maintain good relations with Khrushchev. The Soviet Union was afraid of American suspicion. Similarly, the United States is also afraid of the Soviet Union. If the two countries are suspicious of each other, conflicts may arise when relations are tense.
