Emergency services were spotted on the tarmac at Luton following the landing.

Speaking about the incident, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the first couple arrived at Stanstead 20 minutes behind schedule.

She said: "Out of an abundance of caution, the pilots landed at a local airfield before reaching Stansted Airport."

"The president and first lady safely boarded the support helicopter."
