Dear AmCham members,
As my time in Luxembourg comes to a close, I want to thank you for your friendship, your collaboration, and your dedication. I am deeply grateful for the partnerships and friendships that have made our time together so meaningful. Luxembourg may be small in size, but its global impact is anything but small. It’s a place where shared values and a commitment to progress truly come to life, and I’ve seen firsthand how that can lead to extraordinary accomplishments.
Looking back, the achievements speak for themselves. From groundbreaking trade and investment successes to the valuable contributions of American companies to Luxembourg’s economy, our partnership has consistently delivered results. It’s been a privilege to be a part of that story. Luxembourg’s stature as a global financial hub, a leader in innovation, and a gateway to Europe cements its role as an indispensable partner for U.S. businesses. These accomplishments highlight the incredible potential of our collaboration. As our pioneering efforts in several cutting-edge sectors have shown, when we join forces, there truly are no limits to what we can achieve.
Yet, the challenges our world faces today remind us that our responsibility transcends economic prosperity. In a time when authoritarian regimes challenge the core principles that define us, the choices made in boardrooms and across conference tables carry immense weight. We all have a shared responsibility to uphold transparency, integrity, and the rules-based international order—ensuring that every decision reflects the values that unite us. Our decisions shape the future of our economies, our democracies, and the well-being of our people. And, ultimately, that’s what makes our partnership truly special–our people—those who champion fairness and freedom, who bridge divides, and who tirelessly work to build a brighter, more hopeful future for us all.
The inspiration I’ve drawn from this exceptional community will remain with me, and I look forward to watching the bonds between our countries continue to grow stronger. I have no doubt that by remaining true to our values, we will continue to unlock limitless opportunities and achieve even greater successes for both our great nations.
Sincerely,
Tom Barrett
U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg
