Canada, Mexico, the EU, and others just refusing to do business with the US.
Seeing how the EU is still doing business with Russian while it’s at war with Ukraine it’s hard to imagine such a scenario. I didn’t run the numbers but AFAIK the EU has no realistic alternative for a lot of things, starting with energy again all the way to high-end chips (CPU and GPU) and services, including software. There could be theoretical alternatives, e.g. FLOSS software and their services on lower-end chips but that would require some pretty fundamental changes.






Does it even matter? Just opening the door of a clean room is enough to make the whole thing useless. Also, even without opening the door, how does one even run an ASML device without their support even without remote shutdown? It’s not a $350M toaster. That doesn’t sound realistic.
