According to the statement, Pelosi will be “unable to attend” the remainder of the events scheduled for the congressional delegation, but “looks forward to returning home to the US soon.”
There have been unconfirmed reports that Pelosi may have fallen and broken her hip, which would require surgery.
Pelosi has represented San Francisco on Capitol Hill for 37 years and is one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington. She was the first woman to be elected speaker of the House and held the gavel for four sessions of Congress (2007-2011 and 2019-2023).
