(Reuters) - Volkswagen will introduce an "import fee" on vehicles affected by the 25% tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

The German automaker also said it has temporarily halted rail shipments of vehicles from Mexico and will hold cars arriving by ship from Europe at port, the report said, citing a memo to retailers.
