The billionaire investor Bill Ackman said that America is heading for a self-inflicted “economic winter winter” due to the rollout of US President Donald Trump.

“By setting our friends and enemies equally massive and disproportionate tariffs and thus starting a global economic war against the whole world, we are in the process of destroying the trust in our country as a trading partner,” wrote Ackman, who advocated Trump during the election, on the social media platform X.

Trump's most recent tariffs that came into force on Wednesday laid a levy of 10% to all imports, with more than 180 countries hit and global markets hammering.

China stands in front of the highest tariffs, with the Trump administration has announced 54% in the duties since February. Beijing has returned with 34% tariffs for all goods imported from the USA

The US shares completed a malignant week for investors last Friday, whereby the S&P 500 9.08%has dropped by 9.08%according to the Factset data set, since Trump's fear of global economic slowdown. JPmorgan increased the chances of a US and global recession to 60% last week until the end of the year, compared to 40% before.

“The business is a trust game. The president loses the trust of the managing directors around the world,” said Ackman.

“The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president-especially consumers with low incomes that are already very negative under great economic stress. This is not what we voted for,” said the hedge fund manager.

Trump has the opportunity to demand a break for negotiations to solve all “unfair” tariffs.

“Alternatively, we go to a self -induced, economic nuclear winter and should start to sit down,” he said.

In a separate tweet, Ackman also recorded Howard Lutnick in the US Minister of Trade Potshots. “He benefits when our economy implodes. It is a bad idea to choose a commerce minister whose company proves a long income with long fixed income,” said Ackman and added that it is an “incompatible conflict of interest”.

On Sunday, Lutnick CBS said that the Trump government will remain steadfast against important trading partners in its mutual tariffs in view of a global stock rout.

The US Ministry of Trade did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.

Correction: China stands in front of the highest tariffs, whereby the Trump government has announced 54% in the duties since February. An earlier version incorrectly stated the month.
