Not Enough Time to Finalize Trade Agreements
Ackman explained that President Trump has successfully drawn global attention to the issue of unfair trade practices. However, he believes a delay is necessary to:
Allow negotiations with trade partners.
Give U.S. companies time to adjust their supply chains.
Prevent a sudden economic downturn.
“I would not be surprised if Trump announces a delay to the tariffs to allow time for deals to be made,” Ackman posted on X.
Tariff Goals Are Clear, but Resolution Takes Time
According to Ackman:
Decades of unfair tariffs and trade rules have harmed American workers and the industrial sector.
This complex issue cannot be resolved overnight.
A delay gives the administration and businesses time to prepare.
“The risk of pushing forward too quickly is an economic recession,” he cautioned.
Trump Seen as a Deal-Maker, Not a Warmonger
Ackman also praised Trump’s negotiating approach:
Called him a "tough but fair" leader.
Said Trump is motivated by transactional success.
Encouraged other nations to negotiate early for better terms.
“Countries adding tariffs in response will be punished,” Ackman warned.
