The aircraft carrying President Donald Trump to Davos was forced to turn around and return to Joint Base Andrews late Tuesday, after pilots detected a “minor electrical issue,” meaning the president flew to Switzerland on a backup jet.
Flight tracking data on ADS-B Exchange showed Air Force One took off from the military base in Maryland but made a U-turn over the Atlantic Ocean near Long Island.
The Trump administration’s “Rapid Response” X account said the plane’s flight crew “identified a minor electrical issue” shortly after takeoff.
