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.David Cameron has revealed for the first time how his wife was in New York during the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001.
The Conservative leader, in an interview with CNN this weekend, spoke of how he spent a frantic few hours trying to get hold of Samantha after the planes hit the World Trade Center. He spoke to Christiane Amanpour at the World Economic Forum in Davos in an interview pitching the would-be PM to an American audience. He said the special relationship between the UK and US was based on very "real things", including the Second World War and 9/11. "My wife was in New York," he said. " I couldn't get hold of her for a few hours."
