No, but it's a "legitimate" political instrument in the US toolbox. So far this administration has expended soft-power - diplomatic pressure. Unless Netherlands / ASML concedes forever, Wassennar is probably next before ridiculous hardpower drama like sanctioning ASML from US tech or weaponizing dollar trading against ASML. I suppose with recent TSMC US plants and Brazil 5G subsidy developments, dumping cash to bribe ASML.
