In the case of Mistral, the restrictions on exporting the model would not apply, since the model is produced in France. What's more, Mistral won't be much help in producing deadly gases or uranium enrichment facilities. It is therefore not subject to this legislation for these two reasons.

On the other hand, ICs could be subject to restrictions, and France has no alternative for sourcing large-capacity ICs.

The USA could use dollar-denominated transactions to broaden the scope of the text. It's not insurmountable, but it will complicate matters.
