Baba Ramdev Slams Trump’s Tariff Terrorism

Ramdev described the tariffs as a form of “terrorism” against nations and compared the ongoing economic conflicts to a potential World War III situation.

“Tariffs are terrorism, they are very lethal. If World War 3 breaks out after World War 2, it will be an economic war. In this, poor and developing countries should at least be taken care of. Those in power have done so.” Samrajyawadi (imperialist) and Vistarwadi (expansionist); “They acted very arrogantly; this is not good,” Ramdev told ANI in an exclusive interview.

When asked whether Swadeshi Ramdev said the philosophy of purchasing domestic goods, as opposed to the “expansionist” and “imperialist” tendencies of the US, stems from the idea of ​​uplifting everyone together.

Yoga Guru also criticized the concentration of power in the hands of a few global players, claiming that such a system would promote inequality, injustice and exploitation while hindering prosperity.

“Everyone must stay within their own borders and continue the tradition of lifting everyone up together. If the power, wealth, prosperity and power of the world are in the hands of a handful of people, then inequality, injustice, exploitation, conflict and bloodshed will spread throughout the world,” he said.

Ramdev founded Patanjali Ayurved and Patanjali Yogpeeth with Balakrishna in 2006. While Patanjali Ayurved manufactures ayurvedic medicines, cosmetics and food products, Patanjali Yogpeeth focuses on research and development of Yoga and Ayurveda. Both divisions operate in the US, where the Ayurved branch exports products and the Yogpeeth division operates as a registered charity. Patanjali also operates a wellness center in the US.

Quoting from his philosophy SwadeshiRamdev said many great leaders, including Maharishi Dayanand and Swami Vivekananda, had long advocated self-reliance and development for all.

“Swadeshi It is a philosophy of self-reliance, self-sufficiency and exaltation of the last person. Many great people, from Maharishi Dayanand to Swami Vivekanand, have been advocates of this. They all said everyone should stand up. Be dedicated and lift up the people around and around you along with you. This is the root Swadeshi” said Ramdev.

The United States imposed a 25 percent tariff on imports from India, supplemented by an additional 25 percent duty, on India’s purchase of Russian crude oil. India and the US are currently in the final stages of talks on a trade deal; Washington stated that India agreed to reduce its oil purchases from Russia.

However, the Ministry of External Affairs has repeatedly affirmed that India has the sovereign right to decide its energy strategy.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had earlier said, “India is a major importer of oil and gas. Protecting the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario has been our consistent priority. Our import policies are fully guided by this objective. Ensuring stable energy prices and secure supply have been the twin objectives of our energy policy. This includes making our energy resources broad-based and appropriately diversifying to meet market conditions.”
