“對等關稅”引發美國和全球股市震蕩后，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，他的最新言論標志著他與特朗普迄今為止最尖銳的分歧。
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，而后者需要數年甚至數十年才能修復。他寫道，“……這不是我們投票支持的結果。”
"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. "
阿克曼呼吁特朗普將“對等關稅”的實施暫停90天，期間通過談判解決所謂“不公平、不對等的關稅協議”，并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，又有哪位首席執行官、哪個董事會愿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."
