Former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized after suffering an unspecified injury during an official trip to Luxembourg, her office said Friday.
US media have reported that Pelosi suffered hip injuries after tripping and falling during an event, citing sources who were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Pelosi, 84, “is receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals,” spokesman Ian Krager said in a statement.
The Democrat, who still represents California in the US House, was traveling with a bipartisan congressional delegation to Luxembourg to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
Krager said Pelosi “looks forward to returning home to the US soon” and continues to work from the hospital.
The congresswoman from San Francisco has been a prominent figure in American politics throughout a career that spanned seven presidential administrations.
She first served as speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011, an influential position second only to the vice president in the presidency, then regained the job in 2019 after her party regained control of the chamber.
He stepped down in 2023 after two separate four-year terms in office. But he has continued to serve in the House. Last month, she was elected to another two-year term.
Pelosi joined 17 other House members on the bipartisan trip to Luxembourg, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office. The delegation is expected to participate in anniversary events together with veterans, their families, as well as military officers.
Pelosi will no longer be able to participate in the events, her spokesman said.
His injury comes just days after outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, suffered a sprained wrist and cuts to his face after falling at the US Capitol.
