Experts: UAE to leave OPEC
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) have announced it will leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) as of Friday, May 1.
The decision, which the UAE said is motivated by a desire for greater flexibility in its own oil production and exports, comes as the war in Iran has created a worldwide energy crisis.
