“对等关税”引发美国和全球股市震荡后，华尔街重量级人物——知名对冲基金经理比尔·阿克曼（Bill Ackman）6日罕见对美国总统特朗普发出公开批评。去年曾力挺特朗普竞选的阿克曼警告，特朗普政府因其关税政策“正在失去全球商界领袖的信心”，如果不悬崖勒马，其关税政策将引发“经济核冬”。
阿克曼是特朗普的“华尔街顶级支持者之一”，彭博社称，他的最新言论标志着他与特朗普迄今为止最尖锐的分歧。
作为美国对冲基金潘兴广场的创始人，阿克曼6日晚间在社交平台“X”（原推特）上连发多篇长文，直言特朗普的关税政策正令他“失去全球商界领袖的信任”，给美国和美国民众带来“严重的负面影响”，也“严重损害”美国的国际声誉，而后者需要数年甚至数十年才能修复。他写道，“……这不是我们投票支持的结果。”
"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. "
阿克曼呼吁特朗普将“对等关税”的实施暂停90天，期间通过谈判解决所谓“不公平、不对等的关税协议”，并继续吸引新投资进入美国。
"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. "
美对全球发动“经济核战争”
阿克曼称，“如果美国在4月9日对世界上每个国家发动经济核战争，商业投资将陷入停滞，消费者将捂紧钱包，美国将严重损害自己在世界其他国家的声誉，而恢复这一声誉将需要数年甚至数十年的时间。试问在经济核战争中，又有哪位首席执行官、哪个董事会愿意对美国做出大规模的、长期的经济承诺？”
"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日有机会叫停执行所谓“对等关税”——或者，“美国走向一个自我引发的经济核冬天，做好经济下行的准备。”他希望大家“保持冷静”。
"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."
