Nancy Pelosi injured, hospitalized during Luxembourg visit

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized following an injury she sustained while on an official trip in Luxembourg. Pelosi, 84, was traveling with a congressional delegation when the incident occurred. Her office released a statement on Friday, announcing that she had been admitted to the hospital for evaluation.

According to her spokesman, Ian Krager, Pelosi is receiving excellent care from medical professionals and remains active in her duties, despite regretting her inability to continue with the planned engagements of the congressional delegation (CODEL). The nature of Pelosi's injury has not been disclosed, and further details about the incident were not immediately available.

The bipartisan delegation, including Pelosi, was in Europe to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, a significant World War II conflict between German and Allied forces. The U.S. lawmakers were scheduled to participate in commemorative events on Friday and Saturday with veterans, active duty service members, and officials from various governments and militaries, as well as foreign dignitaries.

In a statement, Pelosi expressed her appreciation for the veterans and the people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their contributions to World War II and the peace that followed in Europe. She was honored to be a part of the delegation, which included members with personal family ties to the war, like Pelosi herself, whose uncle Johnny served in the conflict. Pelosi's office conveyed her eagerness to return home to the United States soon.
