AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
The UAE has announced that it is leaving Opec and the wider "Opec+" group. This decision is being framed as a geopolitical rupture, a major blow to Opec and a boost to President Trump. In reality, it's something more subtle but potentially more significant, marking a move from coordinated energy management to strategic independence.
