White House officials are already plumbing the depths of the U.S. legal code to find ways to get around judicial orders and carry out President Donald Trump’s plan to impose massive import taxes on goods from nearly every country on the globe.

Trump administration may use rarely invoked US Trade Act of 1974 to impose temporary 15% tariffs for 150 days after a court ruling questioned its earlier legal authority
