According to U.S. media reports, on August 9, local time, the Republican presidential candidate and former President Trump flew to Bozeman, Montana to attend a rally. During the flight, the plane changed its route due to a mechanical failure and finally landed safely in Billings near Bozeman.

On August 9, local time, Trump said in a video: "I just landed in a very beautiful place - Montana."

Since the shooting last month, Trump's personal safety has been a concern for the outside world.

The Boeing 757 that Trump was on was Trump's private plane, named "Trump Air Force One". On August 9, local time, it was originally scheduled to fly to Bozeman, where the Republican presidential candidate would host a campaign rally that evening. However, at around 4:30 p.m. local time, the plane was diverted to Billings, 142 miles east of Bozeman.

An airport spokesperson said in an interview that "Trump's plane suffered a mechanical problem and was diverted to Billings Logan Airport." They added that "he will then continue to Bozeman on (another) private plane."
