Air Force One turns around shortly after takeoff for Trump’s trip to Switzerland

Air Force One was forced to return to Joint Base Andrews shortly after takeoff Tuesday evening with President Donald Trump aboard, the White House said.

The crew experienced a ‘minor electrical issue’ after takeoff at 10:20 p.m. and returned ‘out of an abundance of caution,’ according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Trump was en route to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum.

Air Force One landed at Joint Base Andrews at 11:07 pm. The president is expected to board a different aircraft and continue on to Switzerland.

Leavitt joked aboard Air Force One that a Qatari jet sounded ‘much better’ at the moment.

The lights in the press cabin briefly went out after takeoff, reporters on board said.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
