US President Donald Trump convinced Nicholas Maduro to pick up deported migrants. In addition, Venezuela will provide them with transport back. The American leader reported this on the social network Truth Social.

Trump added that the United States is currently in the process of removing the record number of illegal foreigners from all countries and all countries agreed to accept these illegal foreigners back.
