Confirming the incident Ian Krager, the spokesperson for the office of Nancy Pelosi said that, “currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals and looks forward to returning home to the United States soon”.
The former lawmaker who represented California was on a bi-partisan congregational delegation trip to Luxembourg to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
Nancy Pelosi served as House speaker from 2007 to 2011, which is a significant position, and second in line to the presidency after the vice president, then in 2019, she had a second spell as Speaker of the House after her party took back control of the chamber.
