US Vice President Kamala Harris's plane was forced to land soon after take-off on Sunday due to a technical problem. She was on her way to Guatemala for her first international trip.
"We all said a little prayer, but we're good," Harris told reporters after exiting the plane when it returned to Joint Base Andrews on the outskirts of Washington.
Harris's spokeswoman Symone Sanders said that it was a technical issue and there are no major safety concerns.
A journalist onboard reported "an unusual noise" from the landing gear when the plane -- known as Air Force Two -- took off, but said that the landing was "completely normal", news agency AFP reported.
