President Donald Trump is traveling to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, where he plans to meet with European leaders to discuss Greenland’s future. His trip was briefly delayed Tuesday night when Air Force One had to return to Joint Base Andrews because of a minor electrical issue, according to CNN.

The White House said the plane turned back as a precaution after the crew found the problem while flying over the Atlantic near Montauk, New York. Trump then boarded a backup plane, and staff moved his luggage and supplies from the original aircraft.

This is the second time in recent months that Trump has had to change transportation because of technical problems. In September, during a visit to the U.K., he and First Lady Melania Trump switched to a support helicopter after their original one had a minor hydraulic issue and landed as a precaution.
