Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, is hospitalized in Luxembourg after an incident during an official diplomatic visit, her office confirmed. She is receiving care from local medical specialists and is in stable condition, alert, and in good spirits. While full details of her condition haven’t been released, her spokesperson emphasized that Pelosi’s care is being handled professionally, with her health closely monitored.
The incident occurred as Pelosi participated in ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, honoring U.S. service members and reflecting on one of World War II’s most pivotal campaigns. Pelosi, known for her dedication to preserving historical memory and honoring veterans, attended the events as part of a bipartisan congressional delegation.
