Air Force One, carrying former President Donald Trump to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, returned to Joint Base Andrews on Tuesday evening shortly after takeoff. The decision to turn around was prompted by a minor electrical issue detected by the crew, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. A reporter on board noted a brief loss of lighting in the press cabin. Trump subsequently boarded an Air Force C-32, a smaller aircraft typically used for domestic travel, and resumed his journey to Davos after midnight. The current Air Force One planes have been in service for nearly four decades, and replacements are under development but facing delays.
