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 Joe and Jill Biden greet Anthony Albanese and Jodie Haydon as the couple arrive for an official visit to the White House on Wednesday, 25 October.

The US president and the Australian prime minister will also take part in a state dinner today.

According to a statement from the White House, the Australian leader’s trip will “underscore the deep and enduring Alliance between the United States and Australia and the two nations’ shared commitment to supporting an open, stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific.”

Mr Albanese’s visit is Mr Biden’s fourth state visitor he has welcomed since taking office.

The Australian prime minister and Ms. Haydon arrived in the US on Sunday evening.

On Monday, Mr Albanese laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery and visited Microsoft, where the company announced a $3bn artificial intelligence and cyber security partnership with Australia.
