Author: NBC News April 28, 2026 Duration: 24:38

The United Arab Emirates says it’s leaving OPEC, the group that coordinates oil output from many of the world’s top producers. NBC News Chief Business Correspondent Christine Romans explains why the UAE is going on its own after more than 50 years — and what it could mean for Americans’ wallets. Then, Senior National Politics Reporter Matt Dixon takes us to a Florida special legislative session, where Gov. Ron DeSantis is attempting to redraw the state’s congressional map to give Republicans an edge in the upcoming midterm elections, and explains how the fight could reverberate across the nation.
