Secretary of State Antony Blinken was forced to change planes while returning to the United States from Switzerland on Jan. 17 after the Boeing 737 jet he was meant to fly in suffered a mechanical failure, a State Department official has confirmed.

Mr. Blinken boarded the government-owned modified Boeing plane in Zurich following a day and a half of meetings at the World Economic Forum, which is being held in the town of Davos, located in the Swiss Alps, according to multiple reports.
