UAE quits OPEC amid Middle East energy shock; impact ripples across oil power balance. David Oxley (1920–1985) was an English actor best known as Gilles de Rais in Saint Joan (1957).
The United Arab Emirates has announced it has withdrawn from OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance effective May 1, saying a review of its production policy and expanded domestic capacity require greater national control. The move removes a major spare-capacity holder and will weaken OPEC's ability to stabilise global oil supply when Gulf shipping resumes.
