Billionaire investor Bill Ackman predicts that U.S. President Donald Trump may delay the implementation of proposed tariffs originally set for April 7, to allow time for negotiation on potential deals. Ackman, known for his support of the crypto industry following the FTX collapse, suggested that Trump's busy schedule might hinder his ability to finalize agreements in time. He noted that Trump's recent decision to impose reciprocal tariffs — including a baseline 10% tariff on all imports — could significantly impact the economy, potentially leading to a recession due to the uncertainty these tariffs create. Crypto advocates have expressed their support for these tariffs, viewing them as essential following a long period of what Trump called an unfair tariff regime. Ackman emphasized that the upcoming April 7 date will be crucial in U.S. economic history, predicting a possible announcement from Trump regarding the postponement of the tariffs.
