EU and Japan to strengthen cooperation against economic coercion Investing.com -- The European Union and Japan plan to enhance their collaboration to counter economic coercion and address unfair trade practices, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Wednesday. The statement came following an EU-Japan summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. The timing is significant as the EU faces challenges in finalizing a trade agreement with the United States and ahead of potentially difficult meetings with Chinese leaders scheduled for Thursday. Von der Leyen emphasized that both parties would work toward strengthening economic security through their partnership. "We will also work more closely together to counter economic coercion and to address unfair trade practices," she stated during her remarks to reporters. The European Commission President later added, "We believe in global competitiveness and it should benefit everyone." This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.

Trump Just Slapped Tariffs on U.S. Allies—Because They Bought Oil from Venezuela. Here’s Why That’s a Problem President Trump has declared economic war—not on an enemy, but on any country that dares to buy oil from Venezuela.

Trump just slapped 25% tariffs on countries that buy Venezuelan oil.
Not to protect U.S. jobs.
To punish them for disobeying him.
That’s economic blackmail—plain and simple.

It can be #EconomicCoercion - normalising the idea that sick/ older/ disabled people are nothing but an impediment to economic growth (a view voiced in the UK Covid Inquiry); that the value of human lives is solely measured by how much profit powerful people can extract from them It can be #MedicalCoercion: the progressive destruction of our NHS so what you get depends on ability to pay, not need; by epic long-term underfunding; by making healthcare settings unsafe; dumbing down expertise with Physician Associates & neutralising regulators. It’s about destroying trust in medics (see CV & Long Covid groups surveys) while giving even more power to them. The issuing of DNARs we saw in the early days of the pandemic, defining clinical need by budgetary restrictions & often ill-informed judgements on quality of life. All underpinned by #PoliticalCoercion (or that of multinational masters/ oligarchal overlords?): leaving sick/older/disabled people in deprivation without #AssistanceToLive; bullying sick/ disabled people to work on the fictional basis that if they made more effort they could. Only yesterday our Government threatened that if disabled people & people with a health condition don’t want to be written off they would be offered a ’pathway to work’. No pathway can lead to work people too sick or disabled to work. And no! They don’t want to be ‘written off’. Coercion can be generated by withdrawing support to live a good life. This is #ConstructedCoercion: political choice to generate conditions that render lives intolerable, removing all possibilities of choice to live well &dignity in life, & offer it only in choice to end it.
