The government has invited the US President to participate in the celebrations to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

The Memorial Day will be organised on 14 December at the American Military Cemetery in Hamm. In an answer to a parliamentary question posed by LSAP MPs Mars di Bartolomeo and Yves Cruchten, Prime Minister Luc Frieden explained that close contact is maintained with the American authorities, with the American embassy acting as a vital intermediary.

Frieden, however, did not comment on whether the Biden has given a definitive answer.
