Those possessions were granted to the United States in the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish American War, begun in 1898. This was the conflict given impetus by the so-called "yellow journalism" of W. R. Hearst's newspapers, which gave rise to the call to "Remember the Maine" after the mysterious explosion of the U.S. ship Maine in Havana harbor. It was also the short-lived war in which Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders made a reputation for their charge on San Juan Hill. Following the treaty, the U.S. took control of Cuba and ended the insurrection there, then granted independence in 1902.

That is the only foreign country that is even close to sharing a border with Puerto Rico. And since the US Territorial Waters only extend 12 nautical miles, the island's territorial waters do not border with any other country. The US Virgin Islands are about 50 miles to the East of the Puerto Rican coastline. Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are both territories if the United States so there is no national border there even in the territorial waters they share. The US Virgin Island's territorial Waters border the British Virgin Islands Territorial waters. That would be the nearest international boundary to Puerto Rico.
