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.

Pro- and anti-Donald Trump protesters briefly sparred outside Buckingham Palace as the US president arrived for a three-day state visit.

A woman wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap became engaged in a heated row with another member of the crowd over Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

The argument started after the woman began shouting accusations of bias and “fake news” towards the media tents.

The two then became engaged in a minute-long verbal confrontation.

The crowds waiting to see Mr Trump arrive at Buckingham Palace were largely made up of tourists.

Many were unaware of the incoming president, with just a small number of pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators.

A larger rally against Mr Trump is scheduled for Tuesday, in central London.
