Europe's largest auto manufacturer, which is especially vulnerable to the increase in US tariffs, was in “constructive discussions” with the US administration on the issue, Oliver Blume told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper.
“For Audi, production in the United States would be in line with our development strategy,“ he said.
At only around 70,000 vehicles a year the volumes were too small to consider the idea, he said.
The Republican has claimed that imposing tariffs would make foreign companies relocate part of their production to the United States.
With Volkswagen sales in reverse in China in the face of stiff competition from domestic carmakers, particularly on electric vehicles, the US market has become even more important for the German manufacturer.
The figure rises to 100 percent for its high-end Audi and Porsche brands.
Blume would not comment on the tariffs' financial impact on Volkswagen, nor on whether it would raise its prices in the United States in response.
