Air Force One will land at Joint Base Andrews due to a minor electrical issue identified by the crew after takeoff. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the precautionary landing before switching to a different aircraft. Leavitt humorously noted the Qatari jet, a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8, sounded better now. The president and his Cabinet are set to meet European leaders in Davos amid rising tensions over U.S. tariffs on Denmark and discussions about acquiring Greenland.
