UAE Steps Up Independence in Energy & Defense
Just read about the UAE's strategic moves after leaving OPEC. They're aiming to boost oil production to 5 million barrels per day by 2027, focusing on self-reliance and securing the Strait of Hormuz.

Trade remains strong, exceeding $1 trillion, with future investments prioritizing internal growth and infrastructure. A clear push towards sovereignty and resilience.
