WASHINGTON/TORONTO, July 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order increasing tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% on all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, the White House said.

Goods transshipped to another country to evade the new tariffs will be subject to a transshipment levy of 40%, according to a White House fact sheet.

The increased tariff, which the White House said was the result of Canada's "continued inaction and retaliation," comes after Trump told reporters that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reached out ahead of an August 1 tariff deadline, but no conversations between the two took place.

Trump has warned that any country that does not strike a deal with the U.S. before Friday will be subjected to higher tariffs imposed on goods. "We haven't spoken to Canada today. He's (Carney) called and we'll, we'll see," Trump told reporters during an event at the White House before the 35% rate was announced. Carney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

4. About the only products not covered under the agreement are dairy, poultry, egg products, sugar and peanuts

Don't think Canada will suffer to much but US consumers will see more food inflation for sure.

9. Huge exports of steel & aluminum to US are taxed at 50%, so yes, Canadians are already suffering now. . . . nt
