Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi was hospitalised after falling on a staircase in Luxembourg. The incident occurred during her participation in events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Ardennes. According to Pelosi's spokesman Ian Krager, she received professional medical attention and continues to work despite her injury.
Details of the incident
- Pelosi was evacuated by US military transport from Luxembourg to Landstuhl Medical Centre in Germany, a major hospital that traditionally serves the US military.
- Her injuries are described as not serious but require observation.
Krager said Pelosi regrets not being able to complete the remaining activities of the official visit, but is grateful to the doctors for their work. She hopes to return to the United States soon.
This incident comes days after Senator Mitch McConnell was also injured in a fall at the Capitol. The incidents underscore the need for additional safety measures for elderly politicians at official events.
