The United Arab Emirates has announced its decision to quit the oil cartel OPEC, marking a significant shift for one of the world's leading oil exporters. This move comes at a time of heightened instability in the energy sector, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Iran.

Analysts suggest that the UAE's departure could weaken OPEC's influence in global oil markets, potentially benefiting alternative energy strategies and geopolitical dynamics, including support for former President Trump's energy policies.
