From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The United States Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, and Italian leaders made no progress yesterday on arguments over Iran, Libya and Cuba but were in broad agreement on Nato expansion plans, Turkey and keeping the alliance's southern military command in American hands, US officials said. The two governments also agreed on opposition to a Nato mini-summit proposed by France and that a Nato summit in July to decide new members should go ahead regardless of whether the alliance completes a charter with Russia defining a new special relationship.
