Per Blowback, Che offered to the US, in exchange for lifting the blockade:

  • No exporting Revolution

  • No military alliance with the USSR

  • Cuba wouldn’t / couldn’t directly pay back the US for appropriated property, but were willing to reimburse the US over time through terms of trade

Really, the only non-negotiable was that Cuba was a communist country, and would have communist governance and a communist economy. JFK thought it was a sign of weakness on Cuba’s part and turned them down.
