Spain, Brazil and Mexico pledge to increase aid to Cuba

Spain, Brazil and Mexico have pledged to step up aid efforts for Cuba, aiming to ease the humanitarian crisis they say is the result of the US blockade against the Caribbean island nation.

In a joint statement late Saturday, the three countries also called for dialogue and urged against any military intervention in Cuba, stressing 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 the war against Iran on February 28, Trump has also floated the idea of ??"taking over" Cuba, which has also suffered massive power outages across the country as a result of the US blockade.

The statement came after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez hosted Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum in Barcelona for a meeting of left-wing leaders. The international summit was held to defend multilateralism and democracy amid growing challenges from the far right.

South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa, Colombian President Gustavo Petro and German Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil, among others, were also present.

"Democracy cannot be taken for granted," Sanchez said during the opening of the IV Meeting in Defense of Democracy, the first of two events of the day in Spain's second largest city. /CNA
