The statement echoes a complaint by Šefčovič a few weeks back that the Trump administration was failing to engage. Šefčovič met with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and several high-ranking officials from the U.S. Treasury Department.

Šefčovič's visit comes after U.S. President Donald Trump made a stunning U-turn and paused parts of his so-called Liberation Day tariffs and raised tariffs on China to a total of 145 percent. The EU said it would pause its own retaliation by 90 days as well. The U.S. still maintains a 10 percent overall tariff on global imports, plus 25 percent tariffs on steel, aluminum and cars. It will be the third time Šefčovič will travel to Washington since Trump returned to the White House in January.

BRUSSELS — The European Union is considering whether to suspend for 90 days its tariff counter measures on €21 billion of U.S. exports in response to President Donald Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs, four EU diplomats told POLITICO. The idea was discussed by European ambassadors in an emergency meeting on Thursday morning, called on the heels of a U-turn by Trump late Wednesday on his “reciprocal” tariffs. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced it in a post via X.
