# Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government is disappointed by US President Donald Trump’s decision to increase tariffs on Canadian goods to 35-percent. The US leader had warned of trade consequences for Canada after Carney announced plans to recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September. In an executive order, Trump raised the levy from 25-percent to 35-percent. A wide swath of products covered by a 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement remain exempt from the tariff rate, however.
