What? You're musing that a fucking trade war could possibly be placed above freedom of speech? The answer of which "values" should win is 110% clear.

Just out of curiosity, do you think the 2nd amendment obligates the USA to sell foreign enemies any and all weapons?
The First Amendment obligates the US government to permit Americans to read non-American books, because it protects reading and writing symmetrically. The Second Amendment is not symmetric in the same way. It does not encompass a "right to be shot (by someone else)", in the way the First encompasses a "right to receive communications (sent by someone else)".
