A plane carrying U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Germany for the Munich Security Conference, was forced to return to Joint Base Andrews on Thursday due to a mechanical issue, according to a State Department spokesperson quoted by AP.

Despite the setback, Rubio will proceed with his scheduled visits to Germany and the Middle East using a different aircraft, the spokesperson confirmed.

An official speaking to AP stated that the problem, linked to the cockpit windshield of the C-32, a modified Boeing 757, surfaced approximately 90 minutes into the flight.
