ASML of course, being a Dutch company and not American, is to say that ASML then has dependencies on somewhere else.
For TSMC though, I think it's much more likely that if they didn't comply, the US navy would land marines in Taiwan to force them to comply

Because the CRADA it operates under is funded by the US taxpayer, licensing must be approved by Congress. |In June 2023, the Netherlands' Institute for Human Rights ruled that despite the country's constitution prohibiting discrimination based on nationality, ASML was allowed to reject job applications from residents of countries subject to sanctions under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria) in order to remain compliant with U.S. law.[46][47][48] |In January 2024, the Dutch government placed further restrictions on the shipment of some advanced chip-making equipment to China.[49]On 6 September 2024, the Dutch government tightened export controls on certain ASML chipmaking equipment, aligning its policy with U.S. restrictions to limit China’s access to advanced technology amid safety and geopolitical concerns.[50] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding The U.S. is definitely controlling where this tech goes.
