BRUSSELS, April 4 (Reuters) - European Union trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic said on Friday he had held 'frank' talks with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer during which he reffirmed to them that U.S tariffs were unjustified.

"A frank 2h exchange with Sec. @howardlutnick and Amb. @jamiesongreer. I was clear: US tariffs are damaging, unjustified," Sefcovic wrote on social media platform X.
