it’s complicated. afaik asml has agreements with the us govt, and cross licensing with american companies. also, asml only makes lithography tools, there’s a LOT more to making semiconductors than just exposing patterns. and a few of the biggest vendors like kla and amat are american. kla in particular is essentially a monopoly in the metrology space.
agreements with americans are worth nothing. why keep your promises to them? they will not keep theirs to you. this whole shit show started because americans do not keep promises.
