Marine One Forced to Make Emergency Landing with Trump, Melania

During a high-profile second state visit to the United Kingdom, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump experienced a momentary setback when their Marine One helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reported that a “hydraulics issue” necessitated a diversion to a local airfield while en route to Stansted Airport. Out of an abundance of caution, the first couple transitioned to a support helicopter, extending a routine 20-minute flight into a 40-minute ordeal before they safely continued their diplomatic itinerary.
