Donald Trump has landed in Switzerland for a showdown with European leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The US president touched down three hours late after his Air Force One was forced to U-turn in mid-air en route to a crucial summit.

The crew of the modified Boeing 747-200B made the call to abort the initial journey due to a minor electrical issue.

Trump is first meeting business leaders before he makes a speech to the World Economic Forum.

He is expected to address delegates and world leaders at 1.30pm UK time (2.30pm in Switzerland).

He told the BBC: ‘The prime minister’s got other engagements and he will engage with President Trump in his own way.’
