No. US can't make these machines. Laser facility in US would suffer too.

The US is pretty dynamic. So is every country. To the extent it appears not to be there is usually some entity with it's thumb on the scale.

Who is going to recreate EUV machines faster ASML partnering with China or US recreating ASML machines?

		Eminent domain can apply to intellectual property. There is even plenty of US precedent for this in nearly the same circumstances. Then again their need for defensible IP is precisely why ASML would almost certainly never make the partnership you suggest.

Doesn't currently manufacture at commercial scale is not the same as can't make. I don't know what the patent situation is but I assume there are at least a few in the way.
