PANews reported on April 6 that Bill Ackman, a well-known hedge fund manager, posted on X stating that although President Trump announced the implementation of large-scale tariffs with a tough stance, there is not enough time to complete substantive negotiations with trade partners due to the short time before the tariffs officially take effect. Therefore, he believes Trump is likely to announce a postponement of tariff implementation on Monday.
Ackman said that the "unfair tariff system" is a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed, but cannot be resolved within a few days. Suspending tariffs would not only give the president more time for negotiations but also allow businesses of all sizes to adjust their supply chain layouts. "Otherwise, extreme uncertainty could impact market confidence and even drag the U.S. economy into a severe recession."
