Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suffered an injury and has been admitted to a hospital in Luxembourg, Fox News has confirmed.
The 84-year-old California representative was traveling to Luxembourg for Battle of the Bulge remembrances.
The extent of the former speaker’s injury is unknown at the time of this reporting. A person familiar with the incident told The Wall Street Journal that Pelosi tripped and fell following a group photo that she took with other lawmakers and officials there.
“While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,” Ian Krager, her spokesperson, said in a statement.
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals. She continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history,” Krager continued. “Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe.”
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi was personally and officially honored to travel with the distinguished delegation, many of whom had family members who fought in World War II — including her uncle, Johnny,” he added. “She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.”
The U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg posted an image of Pelosi on its X account on Friday.
“We welcome NASA [Administrator] Bill Nelson and Members of Congress to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in Luxembourg and Belgium,” it said. “The sacrifices of brave WWII soldiers echo from the past, reminding us that each generation must continue the fight for freedom and democracy.”
