A plane carrying US defence secretary Pete Hegseth made an emergency landing in Britain on Wednesday after a crack was discovered in the aircraft’s windshield.
Hegseth was returning to the United States from a Nato defence ministers meeting in Brussels when the plane made the unscheduled stop at an airport in Britain, a Pentagon spokesperson said.
“The plane landed based on standard procedures and everyone onboard, including Secretary Hegseth, is safe,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed on social media.
