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, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (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. [1] Soldiers from the United States and Luxembourg fought side by side in the Korean War. [2]
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. [3]
