On September 24, 2026, Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten disclosed during an interview with Bloomberg TV in New York that he had held multiple discussions with US President Donald Trump and US lawmakers to safeguard ASML Holding NV from broader unilateral trade curbs under the proposed MATCH Act (Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware Act). Jetten expressed confidence that the Netherlands and the United States will achieve a workable multilateral compromise. The legislative push in Washington seeks to broaden restrictions on deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion lithography systems to China, which continues to account for a notable share of ASML's net system bookings. Prime Minister Jetten underscored that the Netherlands already enforces rigorous export controls and emphasized the strategic importance of preserving the Dutch semiconductor supply chain against disproportionate regulatory disruption.
