U.S. President Donald Trump’s flight to the World Economic Forum in Davos was interrupted on Tuesday after a technical problem prompted Air Force One to return to the Washington area.
The White House said a minor electrical issue was detected shortly after takeoff, leading the flight crew to reverse course as a precaution.
The aircraft is returning to Joint Base Andrews, where the president and his delegation are expected to transfer to another plane to continue their journey to Switzerland. A reporter travelling with the press pool said the issue was noticeable when cabin lights briefly went out after departure.
NOW: Air Force One just turned around on President Trump's flight to Davos.
This is unnerving with all going on in the world, but pray that everyone on board is well.pic.twitter.com/1kG57h23Fs

Well at least no foreign three letter agency, conspired to use drones to try and end him, nor was he kidnapped from his own country, his bodyguards murdered and treated like a criminal, on pardon the unintentional pun, trumped up charges, by a foreign country, that wants to steal its resources…..
So at the end of the day, we all rely, on the civilised, law abiding, behaviour of others……
Nothing’s ever what it seems.
It had to take evasive action
