Donald Trump's Marine One helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in the UK after suffering a 'hydraulic issue' at the end of his state visit.
The president and first lady Melania Trump were aboard the helicopter on the first leg of their journey back to the US earlier this evening when the pilot had to make the landing.
The White House said the helicopter stopped at a "local airfield" out of an "abundance of caution" after a "minor hydraulic issue" was detected, before the pair boarded a support helicopter to continue their journey. They had been travelling from the Prime Minister's country residence at Chequers to London's Stansted airport, where Air Force One was waiting to take them back to the United States.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement: "Due to a minor hydraulic issue, and out of an abundance of caution, the pilots landed at a local airfield before reaching Stansted airport."
"The president and first lady safely boarded the support helicopter."
