BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union is seeking a fair deal on tariffs with the United States, European Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said on Monday, adding that this would require a "significant joint effort" on both sides.

"In DC,... seizing the 90-day window for a mutual solution to unjustified tariffs," Sefcovic wrote on X after meeting U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington.

He added that the EU "remains constructive and ready for a fair deal - including reciprocity through our 0-for-0 tariff offer on industrial goods and the work on non-tariff barriers."

"Achieving this will require a significant joint effort on both sides."
