WASHINGTON, Jan 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump 
signed an executive order on Tuesday imposing steep import 
tariffs on washing machines and solar panels, saying the move 
showed the United States would not be taken advantage of 
anymore. 
    China and South Korea have condemned the tariffs, but Trump 
said they would not trigger a trade war. "You're going to have 
people getting jobs again and we're going to make our own 
product again. It's been a long time," Trump said.
