Furthermore, Nixon would have to deal with the [[Hawaiian Missile Crisis]], involving the placement of Japanese ICBM missiles on the Hawaiian Islands. Nixon would be given recommendations to invade the islands in 1961, however, he took the advice of Vice President Kennedy and chose not to invade while allowing Kennedy to enter into negotiations with Japan. While the United States has laid claim to the islands since 1959, they remain under Japanese control.
