Nancy Pelosi is hospitalized

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized after suffering an unspecified injury during an official trip to Luxembourg, her office said Friday.

Pelosi, 84, "is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals," spokesman Ian Krager said in a statement.

The Democrat, who represents California in the US House, led a bipartisan congressional delegation to Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

Krager said Pelosi "looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon" and continues to work from the hospital.

The San Francisco congresswoman stepped down as speaker of the House of Representatives, the highest post after the president and vice president, in 2023 after two four-year terms in the role.
