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.
