WASHINGTON: A plane carrying US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was forced to make an emergency landing in Britain on Wednesday due to a crack in the aircraft’s windshield. Hegseth was returning to the United States from a NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels when his plane made the unscheduled landing at an unnamed airport in Britain, a spokesperson said. “The plane landed based on standard procedures and everyone onboard, including Secretary Hegseth, is safe,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said on social media. “All good. Thank God. Continue mission!” Hegseth posted in reply.

The Pentagon says Hegseth and other military leaders on board, who were travelling back from a Nato meeting, are safe.
