US Secretary of State Rubio's Flight Returns to Washington Due to Aircraft Windshield Damage

Marco Rubio's travel to the Munich Security Conference is delayed after his plane is forced to turn back for safety concerns.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's plane returned to Joint Base Andrews near Washington, D.C., after a crack was discovered in the aircraft's windshield.
Rubio was en route to the Munich Security Conference, a major international event focused on global security and diplomacy.
The mechanical issue caused uncertainty about Rubio's arrival time in Germany, though he plans to continue his trip on a different aircraft.
Following the conference, Rubio is scheduled to visit Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to discuss Middle East peace efforts and the Gaza conflict.
The Munich Security Conference will host over 60 world leaders, including Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, with discussions on the Ukraine war and Middle East tensions expected to dominate.
