Venezuela is obliged to accept its citizens deported from the United States; otherwise, Washington will impose new sanctions against the country, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
"Venezuela is obligated to accept its repatriated citizens from the US. This is not an issue for debate or negotiation. Nor does it merit any reward. Unless the Maduro regime accepts a consistent flow of deportation flights, without further excuses or delays, the US will impose new, severe, and escalating sanctions," Rubio said on X on Tuesday.
