A plane carrying US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made an unscheduled landing in the United States due to a cracked windshield, the Pentagon said, quoted by Reuters and BTA.
“The plane landed following standard procedure and everyone on board, including Hegseth, is safe“, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said today in a post in “Ex“.
Hegseth was returning from a short trip to Brussels for a one-day meeting focused on the threat posed by Russia, military spending, European defense capabilities and support for Ukraine at NATO headquarters.
This is not the first time that a US plane carrying senior officials, there are technical problems.
Earlier this year, a US Air Force plane bound for Munich, carrying US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had to return to Washington due to a technical problem.
