How does ASML have any leverage here? They don't have any of the IP related to EUV. It is fully american owned. The actual light source is also physically manufactured in the US. They license the tech and "only" do assembly. They pretty much have no choice but to do what the US asks here.

The laser vaporising tin is manufactured in US, not the UV light itself, neither the UV mirrors for focus.
