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.

Watch as James Cleverly addresses the Aspen Security Forum on Wednesday 19 July.

He will reaffirm UK and allied support for Ukraine as part of a visit to the US, which coincides with the UK’s presidency of the United Nations Security Council.

Earlier this week, the foreign secretary called for global governance of artificial intelligence as it “knows no borders” at the first UN meeting on the issue.

Mr Cleverly said the technology would “fundamentally alter every aspect of human life” and could “enhance or disrupt global strategic stability”.

The UK chaired the first UN Security Council session on the risks of AI for international peace and security on Tuesday, the centrepiece of its council presidency this month.

Rapid development of the emerging technology has prompted fears about its potential, as well as hope of the possibilities it could offer.

Questions about potential regulation has been a recurring issue in recent months among politicians and policymakers across the world.
