WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Air Force One, carrying U.S. President Donald Trump en route to Davos, Switzerland, returned to the Washington area on Tuesday after the aircraft experienced "a minor electrical issue," the White House said.

Trump and his entourage will switch to another plane at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and continue the trip, U.S. media reported, citing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
