Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, has been hospitalized in Luxembourg after sustaining an injury while attending a diplomatic event, according to her office. The longtime Democratic leader was in Europe as part of a bipartisan congressional delegation marking the anniversary of a major World War II milestone.
The visit coincided with commemorations of the Battle of the Bulge, an event that continues to symbolize cooperation and shared sacrifice between the United States and its European allies. Pelosi joined other officials in ceremonies honoring those who served, underscoring the enduring importance of transatlantic partnerships.
Her spokesperson, Ian Krager, confirmed that she “sustained an injury during an official engagement” and is currently receiving medical care from specialists. While full details have not been released, reports from individuals familiar with the situation suggest she may have fallen during the ceremony, possibly injuring her hip or leg.
Witnesses described the incident as unexpected but not severe in appearance. According to those present, Pelosi appeared to lose her footing near a memorial area and was quickly assisted by security and medical personnel on site. Further updates on her condition are expected as evaluations continue.
