Spain, Brazil and Mexico have pledged to boost aid efforts for Cuba to ease a humanitarian crisis they say is the result of a US blockade against the Caribbean island nation.
In a joint statement late on Saturday, the three nations also called for dialogue and urged against any military intervention in Cuba, adding that the Cuban people must determine their own future.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to invade Cuba and has imposed an oil blockade on the Caribbean island.
Since launching a war against Iran on February 28, Trump also floated the idea of "taking" Cuba, which has also suffered massive nationwide blackouts as a result of the US blockade.
