Trump will arrive approximately three hours late at the World Economic Forum in Davos due to an electrical problem on Air Force One , which forced him to change planes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed this to reporters. "I believe President Trump will arrive approximately three hours late. I haven't seen the updated agenda yet." Trump's speech in Davos was scheduled for 2:30 p.m., which has been closely watched due to his recent push for the Greenland acquisition, but has been postponed due to the technical issue.
According to American media reports, Air Force One "took off from Andrews Air Force Base at 9:46 a.m., and reports of its reversal of course arrived an hour later." "After takeoff, the crew identified a minor electrical issue." As a precaution, Air Force One returned to Joint Base Andrews. The president and his team then boarded a different plane and "will continue to Switzerland," White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.
