Baba Ramdev Deems Trump's Tariff Policies as 'Economic Terrorism'

Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev has sharply criticized Donald Trump's tariff strategies, equating them to economic terrorism akin to World War 3. He advocates for swadeshi, stressing the significance of self-reliance for collective upliftment in contrast to the expansionist tendencies of the US.

In a scathing critique, Baba Ramdev, the Yoga Guru and co-founder of Patanjali Ayurved, has likened Donald Trump's tariff policies on various countries to "terrorism," suggesting such measures could spark an economic conflict reminiscent of a World War 3 scenario.

Ramdev emphasized the importance of adopting swadeshi, or Indian-made products, as a countermeasure against such economic aggression. He described swadeshi as a philosophy grounded in self-reliance, contrasting it with the 'expansionist' and 'imperialist' approach currently attributed to the United States.

Highlighting the dangers of concentrated global power, Ramdev argued that dominance by a few leads to inequality, exploitation, and conflict. He elaborated on Patanjali's commitment to these values through its US operations, including exports of Ayurvedic products and a registered charity.
