Trump diverted and forced to swap helicopters on way to Stansted (UK) [View all]
Trump diverted and forced to swap helicopters on way to Stansted"The helicopter carrying US President Donald Trump was forced to divert to Luton Airport as he finished his state visit to the UK.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said "due to a minor hydraulic issue", the aircraft landed at a "local airfield" before later reaching Stansted around 20 minutes behind schedule.
She said the decision was taken "out of an abundance of caution" adding that the president and first lady "safely boarded the support helicopter".
Emergency services were spotted on the tarmac at Luton following the landing."
