Indeed, although it probably won't last as they'll restart stuff like anti China programs in short order under Rubio. I think this was just a way to cut everything at once and then decide what to restore on case by case basis.

yeah ASML is probably the one piece of high tech that Europe has right now that's a critical technology.
