What would have happened if President Kennedy had not approved the mission

Explanation:

On the 17th of April, 1961, a force of Cuban exiles who were trained by the United States invaded the Bay of Pigs on the southern part of Cuba. The main objective of this invasion was to overthrow Castro and establish a non-communist government that would be both friendly and loyal to the United States. This attack or plan was authorized by President Kennedy almost immediately after he was inaugurated.
