He didn't necessarily hate Fidel Castro, but America thought that Fidel was a communist, and because of Cuba was right next to America, they thought that is was "communism on their door step". Fidel was quite chummy with Khrushchev but NOT communist, and when America stopped trading with them, Khrushchev offered to step in and help them. This lead to Fidel becoming communist, and becuase Cuba was so close to america, they considered this as a sign that communism was spreading.
