President Trump abruptly halted plans to support commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after Saudi Arabia suspended US military access to its bases and airspace for the operation, two US officials told NBC. Kuwait is reported to have imposed similar restrictions in wake of being on the receiving end of Iranian missiles.

Austritt der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate: Steht die OPEC vor der Auflösung? (HCOB)
|
|
|
Die OPEC Plus hat bei ihrer letzten Entscheidung so getan, als ob der Austritt der VAE der Organisation nichts anhaben könne. Tatsächlich leitet der Schritt des drittgrößten OPEC-Landes möglicherweise den Übergang hin zu einer „Förder' was das Zeug hält“-Politik ein, die letztlich zu einem Überangebot an Öl führen dürfte.
