Venezuelan authorities on Dec. 2 approved a migrant repatriation flight from the United States, resuming a practice that was paused after U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that the country’s airspace should be considered closed.
“The Aeronautic Authority of Venezuela has received a request from the government of the United States to restart migrant repatriation flights from that country to Venezuela,” the country’s transportation ministry said in a statement.
