Electrical Issue on Air Force One: A "minor electrical issue" caused President Donald Trump's Air Force One to turn back shortly after takeoff on January 20, 2026, while en route to Davos, Switzerland. The problem was identified by the crew soon after departure, and lights in the press cabin briefly went out, according to a pool reporter.

One would assume some rigor in a daily 'systems check' would include lighting and accessory load monitoring.

Attribute this to a reporter's electrical device.
Perhaps a lithium battery.
