US tells ASML a banned EUV machine may have reached China; ASML denies any breach

Commerce Secretary Lutnick told ASML executives the US has evidence that EUV lithography components — banned from export to China since 2019 — reached Chinese facilities, but has declined to show that evidence to Bloomberg or to ASML. A confirmed breach would be the most consequential violation of the West's chip-export regime; even unverified, the accusation signals escalating US pressure on the company that controls the world's sole supply of advanced EUV equipment.
