UAE/Saudi Arabia/OPEC – Explainer: UAE and Saudi Arabia’s spat over OPEC oil production (Al Jazeera)

July 5, 2021

In a rare public spat between the Gulf state allies, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have found themselves at loggerheads over an OPEC plan that seeks to extend a cap on oil production.

Saudi Arabia has led a push in OPEC to extend oil production curbs to the end of 2022, but the UAE pushed back on Sunday, saying a cut in output beyond the initial deadline of April 2022 would be “unfair to the UAE”.
