It's the Netherlands, not Holland. North Holland is the province Amsterdam is in. It's like calling the US New York state. We have the only company that makes the technology for the newest semiconductors, yes. Without us the whole US economy would collapse. Lots of shareholders all over the world in this company. Samsung, Blackrock, TSMC and Intel for instance. It's maybe time to nationalize it though if Trump gets elected this time.

@kangkim150 We aren't dependent on ASML like Taiwan in the Netherlands and have the EU market. Our biggest export is agricultural exports. The second biggest after the US actually. You are not gonna eat our food? Want to start a tariff war on food? Very bad idea for everybody and it would actually make us money. We are covered my friend. Oil is not the same. Everybody has oil. There's just one ASML machine and we can ask what we want. We could ask a trillion dollars. I'm not kidding. Let the bidding war begin between nations! China would pay good money for semiconductor control. The lasers come from the US of the machine. Guess who bought the company who made the lasers in the US and most of their supply chain? ASML owns it. I'm sure the Chinese could reverse engineer that blueprint considering they make more lasers than the US. Germany makes the lenses at Zeiss. Our biggest ally in Europe. We even have a joint tank battalion with Germany. Don't expect much help from them. They would benefit massively from making chips too. Those are the most important parts.

@puraLusa The laser comes from the US, but is owned by ASML in the Netherlands. In Germany they make the lenses at Zeiss.

@ajaykumarsingh702 It's ASML who owns and bought US companies, so their supply chain is their own. China doesn't make the ASML machines. That's why they are 10 years to 15 years behind. The US would also be 10 to 15 years behind without ASML in Europe. The UK is actually the inventor. 😂

You need to protect the Netherlands first. We make the technology for the newest semiconductors. We are not feeling loved right now with Trump and the republican party at all. Taiwan and the US economy could fall.

@HKim0072 🤣 ASML makes the newest chip technology. ASML is in my country the Netherlands. If my country would stop selling ASML machine and nationalize it to get US shareholders out they would all fall in the US. Maybe make Trump reconsider aid to Ukraine and stop inviting Orban. We could hurt you like no other country can. Biden made sure we would only sell it to the US in his chips act. That could change with Trump.

Stop! The Netherlands stopped the semiconductor technology getting into Chinese hands by pressure of Biden. This is not US technology. A Trump who chooses the side of Russia and Orban could change all this. I can't believe ASML is not mentioned once.

How about defending the Netherlands and democracy? We are the ones who make the newest technology. Without us even Taiwan would be making chips from 15 years ago. The whole US economy would collapse. We only sell it to the US because of Biden's chip act. That could change very fast if Trump is going to be besties with Putin and Orban. You would lose all your technology companies without ASML. If the US chooses Trump, i want ASML to be fully nationalized in my country and make the new autocratic USA economy fall into a abyss. You would be considered traitors of democracy. Enemies of freedom. Al Qaeda!!!! 198 of my fellow Dutch people died in the shooting down of the MH17 by a Russian BUKsystem of the 53rd Russian brigade over Ukraine by Russia's "Little Green Men". We will not stop fighting Putin by any means. I'm a Dutch veteran who was in SFIR 3 in Iraq defending democracy about a lie of WMD's. You need to get your act together in the US. Ukrainians are dying right now as we speak because of a bill that should've been signed months ago. Why do you even have the second amendment if not for this autocratic undemocratic behavior of the republicans? Put them in jail already.

@yoshi7390 Dutch is the language, not the country.
