In theory this is great, in practice, it seems incredibly difficult. How do you define economic coercion? When does, in international trade, something move from being a response to an attack? Are we talking sanctions, tariffs, export controls, intentional red tape, and/or subsisdies?
Its much more difficult to find agreement on this compared to a physical attack. And, how do you plan out the response, and who pays for it?
Obviously, all of these questions can be solved at the political level and it would presumably be up to the individual members whether or not they want to trigger “article 5”, but I honestly think this would be extremely tough to build.
