Exclusive-U.S. to urge Dutch for more curbs on ASML chipmaking equipment in China, sources say

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Biden administration plans to press the Netherlands next week to stop its top chipmaking equipment maker ASML from servicing some tools in China, two people familiar with the matter said, as the U.S. leans on allies in its bid to hobble Beijing’s tech sector.

Alan Estevez, the United States export policy chief, will meet in the Netherlands next Monday with officials from the Dutch government and ASML Holding NV to discuss the servicing contracts, the people said.
