Venezuela will resume accepting deportation flights from the US after Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro suspended the flights earlier this month.
Jorge RodrÃguez, the president of Venezuela’s Assembly and chief negotiator with the U.S. announced the change in policy on Saturday.
“We have agreed with the U.S. government to resume the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants with an initial flight tomorrow, Sunday,” Rodriguez said.
He added that the deal with the U.S. secured the “return of our compatriots to their nation with the safeguard of their Human Rights.”
