PANews reported on April 6 that Bill Ackman, a well-known hedge fund manager, wrote on X that although President Trump announced the imminent implementation of large-scale tariffs in a tough manner, there is not enough time to complete substantive negotiations with trading partners because the time before the tariffs officially take effect is too short. Therefore, he believes that Trump is likely to announce a postponement of the tariffs on Monday.
Ackman said that the "unfair tariff system" is a critical and urgent problem to be solved, but it cannot be solved in a few days. Suspending tariffs will not only buy the president more time for negotiations, but also give large and small companies the opportunity to adjust their supply chain layout. "Otherwise, great uncertainty may have an impact on market confidence and even drag the US economy into a severe recession."
