Trump's Davos Trip Delayed After Minor Air Force One Electrical Issue

Trump's journey delayed after 'minor electrical issue' on Air Force One Donald Trump's plane was forced to turn back due to a "minor electrical issue" as he began the journey to Davos, Switzerland. After takeoff, the crew on Air Force One noticed the issue, and the decision was made to turn the plane around, land at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and board a new plane. Reporters also noted the lights went out briefly in the press cabin, but no additional information was given. According to those on board, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt joked that, in light of the issue, the Qatari jet - an "unconditional gift" from the country to the US president, which is currently being refitted - was sounding "much better" right now. The arrival of the president, and those travelling with him, is expected to be delayed. We'll bring you details of who is accompanying Trump on the trip to the World Economic Forum in our next post.
