Bloomberg reported on the 28th that the United States has reached an agreement to limit exports of advanced semiconductor chip manufacturing equipment to the Netherlands and Japan.
A report on talks between the U.S. and the two equipment-exporting countries said the U.S. adopted some export control policies last October, including Dutch ASML Holding NV and Japan's Nikon Corp and Tokyo Electron Ltd, "extending companies based in both allies." will do,” he said.
The trilateral officials' meeting, led by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, "discussed a wide range of issues," and White House national security spokesman John Kirby said ahead of the meeting that they were talking about issues "important to all three of us" and "definitely emerging issues." The safety and security of technology will be on the agenda," he told reporters.
A source familiar with the talks confirmed to Bloomberg that “one of the topics is to restrict exports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China.”
Getting the Netherlands and Japan to impose stricter export controls on China would be a major diplomatic victory for the administration of President Joe Biden, according to Bloomberg and Reuters.
Samsung Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong visited ASML Holding NV in the Netherlands in June of last year and tried to switch the existing deal with Taiwan TMSC to Samsung, but failed.
At the time, Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong's business trip to the Netherlands was evaluated by both Korean and Japanese business magazines.
Japan reported that Vice-Chairman Lee was a “failed business trip,” and a Korean economic newspaper reported it as a “contract for the introduction of next-generation equipment, NA EUV.”
'Nihon Keizai' said, "Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong went to the Netherlands and met ASML CEO, etc., trying to crack the monopoly of the two companies (Taiwan TSMC and ASML), but the solidarity between the two companies that have been working hand-to-hand for a long time is not enough. “Taiwanese TSMC and Dutch ASML virtually monopolize the manufacturing of state-of-the-art system semiconductors, which are the core of next-generation technologies such as autonomous driving,” it reported on June 29.

At the Korea-US summit in May of last year, following the joint statement with Korea on 'Securing the Global Supply Chain', the US-Japan summit in Japan agreed on the 'Advanced Semiconductor Alliance System'.
