OPEC is Losing Its Grip As American Energy Leads the World
This week, the United Arab Emirates announced it will leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) effective May 1. For decades, OPEC has tried to control global oil markets, but that influence is beginning to fade as American energy production reaches record levels.
Under President Trump’s American Energy Dominance agenda, the United States has reaffirmed its position as the world’s top energy powerhouse.
“American Energy Dominance is doing what decades of actions from the so-called ‘experts’ never could: breaking OPEC’s grip on global markets,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “This is a clear signal that the cartel is losing relevance in a world where the United States is leading in production, innovation, and energy security. This is all made possible by President Trump putting our country first, and America’s energy workers delivering real global results.”
It is becoming increasingly clear: OPEC’s control is waning, and American energy leadership is on the rise.
