DETROIT, March 6 (Reuters) - Volkswagen said

Thursday that its vehicles made in North America comply with the

United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), meaning they will

likely avoid being subject to the 25% tariffs U.S. President

Donald Trump has imposed on imports from Mexico and Canada which

do not comply with the trade deal's rules.

A spokesperson for BMW said vehicles made in the

United States and Mexico do not comply with the rules of the

trade deal, potentially subjecting it to the steep duties.
