Air Force One turns back after ‘minor electrical issue’ en route to Davos
Air Force one, carrying President Donald Trump en route to the World Economic Forum in Davos, turned back shortly after takeoff when crew identified a “minor electrical issue” and returned to Joint Base Andrews as a precaution. The White House said Trump and his team will board a different plane; the president is expected back at Andrews around 11 p.m., with the delay affecting his Davos schedule. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt joked that a Qatari jet “sounded much better” at the moment, and a government motorcade was filmed rushing to the base after the plane reversed course. Trump is still scheduled to speak at Davos amid heightened U.S.-Europe tensions, and he posted beforehand that “America will be well represented in Davos – by me.”
