U.S. Secretary of State Rubio's Plane Makes Emergency Return to Washington

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's plane, on its way to the Munich conference, was forced to return to Washington due to a technical issue, reports NewsBox.

The aircraft, carrying U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senator Jim Risch, had to make an unscheduled return to the capital because of technical equipment problems. The flight was headed to Germany for the Munich Security Conference, but the itinerary had to be interrupted, according to AP.

The U.S. State Department assured that Rubio is not canceling his trip and will continue his visit to Europe and the Middle East aboard a different aircraft.

It remains uncertain whether he will arrive on time for his planned meeting with U.S. Vice President Jay Dee Vance and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, scheduled as part of the conference.
