Washington D.C. [US], August 10: KTVH reported that Mr. Trump's Boeing 757 plane had mechanical problems that forced the plane to make an emergency landing at an airport about 172 kilometers east of Bozeman. The Republican presidential candidate was scheduled to speak at an event at Montana State University in Bozeman at 10 p.m. that same night.
There were no reports of injuries as the plane made the emergency landing, and former President Trump posted a video on Truth Social claiming to have arrived in Montana, although he did not mention the plane's mechanical problems or the emergency landing.
KTVH added that the Secret Service thoroughly screened the airport in Billings before Mr. Trump boarded another private plane to Bozeman.

The Secret Service said the incident was not related to any security issue.
