Air Force One carrying Trump to Davos returns to Washington 'minor electrical issue'

US President Donald Trump’s plane, Air Force One, on the way to Switzerland for the World Economic Forum had to return to Joint Base Andrews near Washington DC after a “minor electrical issue” was detected onboard.

After takeoff, the crew of Air Force One identified “a minor electrical issue” and, out of an abundance of caution, the plane was turned around, landing at Joint Base Andrews, according to information



provided by reporters onboard the aircraft.

Trump and his entourage will board a new aircraft, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Trump is set to address the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.

He will also participate in a greeting with the forum’s leadership, meet foreign leaders and attend a reception with business leaders.
