LONDON (Reuters) -The CEO of leading computer chip equipment maker ASML said on Tuesday he expects that 2026 will be a growth year for the company and that the U.S. government will continue to push for further restrictions on its exports to China.

ASML Holding NV Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet said European countries like the Netherlands must not restrict inbound migration if they want to remain competitive in key industries.

CEO Christophe Fouquet said the U.S. will continue to pursue restricting certain high-tech exports to China, and pressure allies to do the same, regardless of who wins the presidential election next month,

The Dutch firm has a monopoly on making the lithography machines that help the world’s largest semiconductor foundries produce advanced chips.
