Trump’s Air Force One turns back to Washington after ‘minor electrical issue’
AI Summary
Air Force One, carrying Donald Trump to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was forced to return to Washington D.C. shortly after takeoff on Tuesday due to a "minor electrical issue." The White House press secretary stated the decision was made "out of an abundance of caution" after lights flickered in the press cabin. Trump was expected to transfer to another plane to continue his journey, causing a delay in his arrival. The current Air Force One jets are nearly four decades old, and replacements have faced delays. The incident occurred amidst controversy surrounding a luxury Boeing 747-8 gifted to Trump by Qatar, which is being refitted to meet US security standards. The delegation to Davos includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other key White House staff.
