Air Force One returned to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on Tuesday night after the crew identified “a minor electrical issue” after takeoff, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
President Donald Trump will board a new aircraft after landing, said Leavitt, who was on Air Force One with him. His plane landed at 11:07 p.m. after having taken off shortly after 9:40 p.m. ET.
Trump was on his way to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, when the plane was forced to return. The plane change is expected to delay his arrival in Switzerland.
