The US president wrote about this on his social network Truth Social.
Trump also welcomed the return from Venezuela of six American hostages held by the Maduro regime.
"It is very good that the Venezuelan hostages have returned home, and it is very important to note that Venezuela has agreed to accept all Venezuelan illegals who are in a camp in the US, including members of the Tren de Aragua gang, back to their country," he wrote.
"Tren de Aragua" is an international criminal group originating from Venezuela, which is involved in human, drug, and weapons trafficking.
According to Trump, Venezuela has also agreed to provide transportation for the return of migrants.
"We are in the process of deporting a record number of illegal immigrants from all countries, and all countries have agreed to take these illegal immigrants back. In addition, a record number of criminals are being deported from our country, and the number of border agents at the border is the highest since the first term of the Trump administration!" - said the US President.
Venezuela released six American hostages on Friday after US President Donald Trump's special envoy Richard Grenell met with Nicolas Maduro.
Recall that in August last year, the US announced that it would not recognize Maduro's victory in the presidential election. On January 10, Washington imposed new sanctions against Venezuelan officials and announced an increase to $25 million in the reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest.
Colombia previously agreed to accept its migrants after Trump threatened it with economic sanctions. This was preceded by President Gustavo Petro's refusal to let in an American plane carrying deported Colombians.
