Venezuela is expected to permit the US to return deported migrants directly to the South American country after an adviser to President Donald Trump flew to Caracas for talks with the regime.

President Trump’s envoy for special missions, Richard Grenell, is delivering an in-person message to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro that there will be consequences if detained Americans are not released and Venezuelan “criminals and gang members” deported from the U.

Edmundo González, recognized by the United States as Venezuela’s president-elect, urges the Trump administration not to deal with the Maduro regime on immigration.
