<h1>Country A launches anti-dumping and anti-discrimination probes into Country B's semiconductor imports amid trade-security talks</h1> One country initiated two trade probes targeting another country's semiconductor sector: an anti-dumping investigation into certain analog integrated circuit imports (commodity interface and gate driver ICs commonly produced by major firms) and an anti-discrimination probe into the other country's measures restricting its chip industry. The actions coincide with high-level trade and security talks between the two governments and follow the second country's addition of multiple firms to a restricted 'entity list' citing national security concerns. The measures reflect reciprocal use of trade remedies, export controls and tariffs amid negotiations to avoid broader tariff escalation.
