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.

CAIRO - King Hussein of Jordan and the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, ended three years of bitterness and recriminations caused by Jordan's apparent sympathy for Iraq over its invasion of Kuwait in 1990, Reuter reports.

It was the King's first official visit since he and Mr Mubarak fell out after the invasion, each accusing the other of undermining efforts to resolve the crisis peacefully.

King Hussein said after two hours of talks with Mr Mubarak: 'I am happy to be here to visit Egypt and return as we were so we can discuss the important issues in this delicate period.' Asked whether the visit marked the resumption of normal relations, he said: 'Yes, this is my feeling.'
