In an unforeseen incident, Air Force One returned to Joint Base Andrews after a 'minor electrical issue' was identified shortly after takeoff en route to Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. Reporters on board confirmed the decision to turn around was out of caution, ensuring the safety of U.S. President Donald Trump and his entourage.

President Trump is scheduled to address global leaders and business executives at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos. The agenda includes interactions with the forum's leadership, meetings with foreign dignitaries, and a reception with prominent business figures, planning to go uninterrupted despite the aircraft setback.
