   Untrue. TSMC is just building a state of the art chip factory in Dresden, and they are certainly using ASML.

      Yes, so TSMC is buying the machines, and they are based in Taiwan. This is not about the physical location of the machines.

         Most of their fabs are also in Taiwan.

            The claim in OP is that "ASML currently sells no chipmaking machines in Europe". A single chipmaking machine purchase into a fab in Europe would be enough to prove that claim wrong. The number of fabs in Taiwan is irrelevant to this claim.
