The presidential plane is returning to Washington, the White House said
The aircraft carrying US President Donald Trump is returning to the Washington area after a technical issue was identified en route to Davos, the White House said on Tuesday.
“After takeoff, the AF1 crew identified a minor electrical issue. Out of an abundance of caution, AF1 is returning to Joint Base Andrews. The president and team will board a different aircraft and continue on to Switzerland,” the White House said in a brief statement.
AP cited a reporter on board as saying the lights in the press cabin briefly went out after takeoff.
