A departure was delayed due to an issue with a new presidential aircraft. The problem arose before the president was to head to a convention. A emergency slide was deployed on the opposite side of the plane, which is an Air Force One aircraft donated by Qatar.

The president suggested that the slide deployment was intentional, stating it was being tested. Further details about the incident are available from the source.

The president had arrived at Joint Base Andrews on Marine One before the issue with the aircraft arose.
