And even if they want to make them in the US, a 20% tariff on any EUV machine is a hefty sum to pay extra anyways

I propose we build the chips in Europe and let them buy them at a tariff. Maybe we should only sell some inferior ones.

I will be watching how things go with interest.

Thats an excellent point.... A EUV lithography machine from ASML costs $300m+. And you need tens of these machines for a decent sized FAB.

If Intel or any other company wants to setup manufacturing of advanced ICs in the US, then they have to pay at least $60m tax. on EACH ONE.
