Ike takes a u-turn on policy

Suppose Eisenhower cancels the U2 flights like he intended. (In OTL, he did continued only at the urging of Dulles and the head of the CIA.)

The consequences might go like this. Gary Powers is not shot down. Ike meets with Krushchev with his New Look policy allowing mutual flyovers. Without Powers, Krushchev does not refuse such a policy.

Castro still takes power but a Cuban Missle Crisis does nor take place because of flyovers allowed to the U.S. becuase of Soviet client state.

The Cold War end up being a few degrees warmer
