As it stands today, France is supposed to buy it from the US.
General Atomics Wins EMALS Order for France's Future Carrier - Naval News
U.S. Navy awards General Atomics an order for the development of EMALS and AAG systems for France's future aircraft carrier (known as PA-Ng).

What the French article highlights is a plan B in case GA cannot deliver in time. So it's merely a feasibility study for now.
Furthermore, I think there's a possibility Europe plans a military modernization and more carrier nations may be born due to the changing security situation. Defense budgets will see massive increases across Europe over the coming 10 years to match Russia to make up for their miscalculations.
Spain is talking about a conventional CATOBAR carrier in the CdG class. Spain is also interested in the French version of a carrier-capable SCAF. Italy will need a Cavour replacement. They will need a sovereign EMALS at that point. Can't dismiss Germany's potential for a carrier. There's potential for a second PANG too.
India was expected to follow the same route as France. Our conventional CATOBAR is expected to carry American EMALS and the Rafales we recently ordered.
