UAE quits Opec in win for Trump as oil cartel weakened
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has withdrawn from OPEC and OPEC+, effective April 28, 2026, citing a need for greater flexibility aligned with its long-term strategic vision and frustration over weak regional support amid Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz. The move is a win for U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly criticized OPEC for inflating oil prices, and analysts predict it will weaken OPEC's market influence long-term, potentially leading to more volatile oil markets.
