Didn’t they shut down Nikon’s EUV program and give the IP to ASML?

Who is "they"?

I Google'd for "Nikon’s EUV program". First hit: https://www.nikon.com/company/ir/ir_library/event/pdf/2023/2...

Page 47:

    > Nikon exited the development of EUV lithography systems about 10 years ago due to the enormous investments required for the development.
I could not find anything about "giv[ing] IP to ASML". Can you provide a reliable source?

There were some allegations elsewhere on HN that the US government had a hand in this.
