UAE challenges Russia in boosting oil production in favor of US

SANAA, March 10 (YPA) – The Wall Street Journal reported that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has suddenly decided to increase its oil production.

“The UAE’s position on increasing oil production was not coordinated with us and was not informed by OPEC, ” the newspaper quoted a Saudi official as saying.

An official OPEC source said he was surprised by the UAE’s decision to increase its oil production. The source told the Wall Street Journal.

“The UAE’s position on the volume of oil production has changed abruptly and has not been discussed within OPEC.”

“The UAE has changed its position on increasing oil production under pressure from the United States,” the newspaper said.

The decision casts a dark shadow over the severity of Russia’s economic war against the United States and the West, against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The UAE had avoided Moscow’s anger by not voting on a US draft resolution condemning Russia, but Abu Dhabi quickly returned to the US incubator on Thursday by meeting US demand for increased oil production.
