6 days ago
President Donald Trump’s Air Force One was forced to turn back to Joint Base Andrews shortly after departing for Switzerland on Tuesday, the White House confirmed.
Officials say the crew identified a minor electrical issue mid-flight and returned out of an abundance of caution. There was no threat to safety, and the president’s schedule was not disrupted.
Trump later continued his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos aboard a backup Air Force aircraft, a modified Boeing 757 typically used for domestic trips to smaller airports.
The White House emphasized that the incident was purely precautionary, and the president is expected to participate in all scheduled events in Switzerland.
