Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told the Netherlands News Agency ANP that he will discuss new export restrictions on ASML proposed by US lawmakers during his Monday meeting with US President Donald Trump. The report stated that the Netherlands opposes these new export controls. Prime Minister Rutte has also conveyed his objections to the draft legislation to White House economic advisors. Rutte said, "It is equally important that they hear not only from ASML about what is favorable or unfavorable for the company, but also hear the Prime Minister articulate our position on this issue." He stated that this is "one of the most important reasons" for his trip to the United States.
