This week, Speaker Pelosi welcomed President Sergio Mattarella of Italy to the U.S. Capitol and joined Chairman Adam Schiff for a press conference on the next steps in the impeachment inquiry. On Wednesday, Speaker Pelosi went to the White House to meet with President Trump regarding his disastrous decision in Syria, which was overwhelmingly opposed in a bipartisan vote of 354 to 60. Later in the week, Speaker Pelosi led a high-level bipartisan delegation to Jordan to discuss the deepening Syria crisis.
