CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's government has agreed to resume flights of deported migrants who unlawfully entered the United States, senior US diplomat Richard Grenell announced in a post on X on Thursday.

Grenell added that the flights will start on Friday.

Venezuela's communication ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In late January, Grenell visited the Venezuelan capital of Caracas as an envoy of US President Donald Trump to meet with President Nicolas Maduro and discuss the deportation of migrants.

Since then, a group of Americans held in Venezuela were released and the repatriation flights commenced.

Venezuelans make up a large portion of migrants who have sought entry into the United States in recent years, with many fleeing their home country due to an extended economic and political crisis.
