The United Arab Emirates has said it will leave OPEC and OPEC+ from May 1. The move comes during the ongoing Iran war, which has shaken global energy markets. In a statement, the UAE said the decision reflects its “evolving energy profile” and long-term plans. It added that it will focus more on domestic energy production. The country said it will remain a “responsible and reliable” player in global markets. It plans to increase output in a “gradual and measured manner.” The move also comes amid rising differences with Saudi Arabia on regional and economic issues. (PC: NDTV)
