Former President Donald Trump’s plane was forced to make an emergency landing on Friday in Billings, Montana, after reportedly experiencing a mechanical issue.
The Republican presidential nominee was on his way to a rally at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse at Montana State University in Bozeman when the plane was forced to land in Billings, located approximately 150 miles east of Bozeman.
KTVH reported that Secret Service conducted a sweep of the airport before Trump disembarked his plane and boarded a smaller plane on his way to Bozeman.
