FRANKFURT, April 29 (Reuters) - Porsche will

raise prices in the United States later this year if tariffs

implemented in April will remain in place, the group's finance

chief said on Tuesday after presenting a major drop in

first-quarter profit margins.

"If negotiations do not turn out to be successful and the

tariff regime would stay as we see it today, we will definitely

increase prices in the U.S. to have some mitigating factors on

our margin," Jochen Breckner said.
