There is some disquiet in the Netherlands about the abolition of the de minimis rule for American content in ASML products.

There was also an interesting pre-publication from a new Dutch book on ASML, which retells the story of how the Pentagon pressured the Netherlands in 2019 already to have ASML take over Dutch company Mapper to prevent its technology from falling into Chinese hands: nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/10/2…

The narrative of America seeking to control Dutch technology, regardless of its merit, is gaining in strength.
