President Donald Trump’s trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos had a rough start, after the government plane he was flying on was forced to return to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland shortly after departure because of a mechanical issue.

Air Force One with President Donald Trump on board was forced to return to Maryland's Joint Base Andrews late Tuesday due to an electrical issue with the aircraft, officials said.

Air Force One headed back to Joint Base Andrews after it ran into a "minor electrical issue," per a White House pool report.

A minor electrical issue forced Air Force One to turn around and return to the U.S. less than an hour after takeoff as it was headed for Switzerland with President Trump aboard, White House officials said.

Air Force One turned around mid-flight as President Donald Trump was heading to Davos, Switzerland, after the crew identified "a minor electrical issue," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday night.
