AYLESBURY, England —
President Donald Trump’s helicopter made an unscheduled landing at a local airfield during a state visit to the United Kingdom due to what the White House called a “minor hydraulic issue.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that’s why Trump’s helicopter, Marine One, was delayed arriving back at Stansted Airport. Advertisement
Pilots set Marine One down at a local airfield after leaving British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s country home due to the hydraulic problem. Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, then switched to a backup helicopter, which continued on to the airport.
The Trumps safely boarded Air Force One for the flight back to the U.S.
No injuries were reported.
