Air Force One returns to Andrews after 'minor electrical issue'

Air Force One returned to Joint Base Andrews late Tuesday with President Trump on board after experiencing a "minor electrical issue," a White House official said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Mr. Trump would board a different plane at the base and continue on to Switzerland, where he is expected to address the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday. Ms. Leavitt said the plane turned around "out of an abundance of caution" after crew identified the issue shortly after takeoff; some of the cabin lights were not working.

This is a developing story that will be updated.
