“對等關稅”引發美國和全球股市震盪後，華爾街重量級人物——知名對沖基金經理比爾·阿克曼（Bill Ackman）6日罕見對美國總統特朗普發出公開批評。去年曾力挺特朗普競選的阿克曼警告，特朗普政府因其關稅政策“正在失去全球商界領袖的信心”，如果不懸崖勒馬，其關稅政策將引發“經濟核冬”。
阿克曼是特朗普的“華爾街頂級支持者之一”，彭博社稱，他的最新言論標誌著他與特朗普迄今為止最尖銳的分歧。
阿克曼在X上釋出的貼文
作為美國對沖基金潘興廣場的創始人，阿克曼6日晚間在社交平臺“X”（原推特）上連發多篇長文，直言特朗普的關稅政策正令他“失去全球商界領袖的信任”，給美國和美國民眾帶來“嚴重的負面影響”，也“嚴重損害”美國的國際聲譽，而後者需要數年甚至數十年才能修復。他寫道，“……這不是我們投票支援的結果。”
"Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for. "

阿克曼呼籲特朗普將“對等關稅”的實施暫停90天，期間透過談判解決所謂“不公平、不對等的關稅協議”，並繼續吸引新投資進入美國。
"The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country. "
美對全球發動“經濟核戰爭”
阿克曼稱，“如果美國在4月9日對世界上每個國家發動經濟核戰爭，商業投資將陷入停滯，消費者將捂緊錢包，美國將嚴重損害自己在世界其他國家的聲譽，而恢復這一聲譽將需要數年甚至數十年的時間。試問在經濟核戰爭中，又有哪位執行長、哪個董事會願意對美國做出大規模的、長期的經濟承諾？”
"If, on the other hand, on April 9 we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate. ""What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?"
阿克曼表示，特朗普4月7日有機會叫停執行所謂“對等關稅”——或者，“美國走向一個自我引發的經濟核冬天，做好經濟下行的準備。”他希望大家“保持冷靜”。
"The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system. ""Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down. ""May cooler heads prevail."
