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.THE DOLLAR dropped to its lowest level for 17 months yesterday as expectations of an early cut in European interest rates faded. German officials played down hopes expressed by Nicholas Brady, US Treasury Secretary, that the Bundesbank would soon ease monetary policy.
Leaders of the Group of Seven leading economies will call for lower interest rates today, but there is little indication of early action. They will also call for agreement on international trade talks by the end of the year - a subject on which heads of government also failed to achieve anything yesterday despite an initiative from John Major.
