I'm somewhat surprised this is confusing? The Executive is in charge of matters of national security, and thus is to use whatever is at its disposal to secure the nation.

Why wouldn't you expect economic restrictions in national conflicts where we've agreed not to invade over such things?

That's not what grandparent is saying. The argument is that instead of saying "we're delaying Huawei licenses in response to tariffs" they keep up the charade that it's something to do with security.

I think the reason for this might have to do with denying the thing in front of a wto panel.

Well, I mean, if we suspect Huawei is spying on us, then changed tariffs on soybeans don't change that, right?
