WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump was returning to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to change aircraft after crew on his Air Force One identified “a minor electrical issue” on the aircraft shortly after taking off to fly to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, the White House said Tuesday evening.

The trip will continue on a new aircraft, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
