To carry out his plan of mass deportations, the upcoming U.S. president, Donald Trump, may need to strike a deal with one of his archenemies: the Venezuelan regime. Expanding deportations may depend on securing cooperation from Nicolás Maduro's government, which currently refuses to accept deportees from the U.S., experts on U.S.-Latin American relations warn.
An estimated 270,000 Venezuelans live in the U.S. without authorization, the Pew Research Center report. But Ryan Berg, who directs the Future of Venezuela Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, says Trump's administration might explore ways to bring Maduro to the table, according to Axios.
