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.

Watch as Nato representatives give closing speeches as the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania draws to a close on Wednesday 12 July.

At the high-profile meeting, the UK, US, Japan, Canada, France, Germany and Italy signed a pact committing to new measures to help Ukraine in its war with Russia.

G7 countries have agreed to stand by Kyiv for “as long as it takes” as they set out the details of what a package of new security measures will entail.

The leaders of the wealthiest economies jointly penned a security accord that Rishi Sunak has said marks a “new high point” in international support for Ukraine.

He thinks it will send a message to Russian president Vladimir Putin and has the potential to bring an end to the conflict in eastern Europe.

The pact contains promises to act multilaterally and on a country-to-country basis to offer Ukraine long-term security guarantees.
