Europe did not build ASML.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUV_lithography

You can read the history and learn that the technology was developed almost entirely by the US government Department of Energy, Intel, IBM, and several Japanese companies.

ASML is an important company but it is largely just an integrator of tech and process IP licensed from several different countries.
