Sudo doesnt retain settings of ~/.config (lemm.ee)

Whenever I run any command line tools without sudo, they take the settings as in ~/.config and work fine. But whenever I run the same CLI tools with same parameters but with sudo, it falls back to default setting. How can I make this behavior consistent?

Generally define the same config options for the root user in /root/.config
