A “minor electrical issue” caused Air Force One to return to Maryland shortly after takeoff on Tuesday night, with President Trump onboard, as it was headed to Davos, Switzerland. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reported that the crew decided to turn back for safety reasons. The plane landed at 11:07 p.m. ET, and Trump will board a new aircraft for his scheduled address at the World Economic Forum. He expressed uncertainty about the trip but noted that the U.S. is well represented.
