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.

Britain's foreign secretary James Cleverly and US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, held a press conference in London to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The pair discussed rallying international support to help Ukraine recover from the severe impact of the Russian invasion.

Mr Blinken travelled to London on Tuesday, 20 June, from Beijing, where he is due to meet with his British and Ukrainian counterparts ahead of the Ukraine Recovery Conference.

After bilateral talks with his counterpart, Mr Blinken will also meet with Ukrainian's foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba.

For World Refugee Day, both officials toured a centre in London set up to help Ukrainians who fled the war adapt to life in Britain.

Secretary Blinken recently returned from a visit to China to speak with President Xi Jinping.

Britain and Ukraine are co-hosting the conference taking place between Wednesday and Thursday.
