This is a battleground with other opponents of the US too. Apparently ASML, with the support of the Dutch government, may revisit US led restrictions on their sales and support for China:

I am not sure what freedom ASML has either. As I recall, the EUV technology they use was actually from a DARPA funded research project, and maybe the US has some licensing restrictions as a way to control it.

There is a long way from DARPA research project to commercial technology. It took more than a decade for ASML to make EUV lithography work.

That's not really relevant to the licensor/licensee relationship, but from an academic perspective, how long would it have taken without the underlying US-taxpayer-funded research?

No, Ursula von der leyen confirmed. Russians are taking microchips from dishwashers and refrigerators. This article is a lie.

Politicians and mainstream media never lie.
