ASML's largest shareholder is Intel, and they rely on a supply chain from American, German, and other western European countries, all on the US leash.

But more importantly, ASML does exactly what America tells them to do.

And Europe for the most part does as well.

Sorry, I wish Europe had the fortitude to not be subordinated to the US, but that's how it is.

Intel does not hold a significant share in ASML anymore.

I agree that the US has other 'western' countries 'on a leash'. That used to be an arrangement that was mutually beneficial...
