You may not have that locale installed on the server.

I would say it isn't. You can try executing the command
locale -a
and see if en_US is listed among the locales there.

That's because when no environment vars controlling the locale (LANG,
LC_*, etc.) are set, something that's called the "C" locale is used. This
is the default, meaning not the default for your system, but the same
everywhere. This locale always has to be available.
