Luxembourg–United States relations
bilateral relations between United States and Luxembourg
Luxembourg–United States relations are the bilateral relations between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the United States of America. The strong relationship is expressed both bilaterally and through common membership in NATO, OECD, and the OSCE.
History
The United States, fighting on the Allied side, contributed to Luxembourg's liberation in World War I and World War II. More than 5,000 American soldiers, including U.S. Army General George S. Patton, are buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial near the capital of Luxembourg City, and there are monuments in many towns to American liberators. John Mersch, vice-consul of the United States in Luxembourg, was imprisoned by the German occupiers during World War II in a subcamp of the Hinzert concentration camp in Wittlich. Soldiers from the United States and Luxembourg fought side by side in the Korean War.
Modern relations
According to the 2012 U.S. Global Leadership Report, 42% of Luxembourgers approve of U.S. leadership, with 33% disapproving and 25% uncertain.

Why this record matters
“Luxembourg–United States relations” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Luxembourg, United and States provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6706356. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012 and 2004.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
