Time for Negotiations
Ackman notes that the president does not have enough time to sign agreements before the tariffs take effect. He believes that we should allow time for negotiations to avoid negative economic consequences.
“The reality is that he does not have enough time to finalize deals before the tariffs come into effect. Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if on Monday (April 7, 2025), the president announces that he is postponing the implementation of the tariffs”
Impact on Business and the Economy
The expert also emphasized the importance of giving both small and large businesses time to prepare for changes in supply chains. “Why not give small and large businesses time to prepare by implementing changes in the supply chains?” Ackman questions. He warned that otherwise, the American economy could face a recession.
Recall that on April 2, 2025, Trump imposed basic and reciprocal tariffs against many countries, putting pressure on financial and cryptocurrency markets. According to data from the Polymarket platform, the probability of most tariffs being reduced by July is 45%. Some experts, including BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, believe that this situation could positively impact Bitcoin.
