Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

May coffee futures on London Fox rose dollars 2 to close at dollars 930 a tonne. Dealers said the outcome of the talks was widely expected.

Delegates last week discussed matters including whether to review the proposed export quota system after a year of operation.

But the stickiest issues that led to the collapse of the last pact - how to determine each producing country's quota, and the prices to be defended - were not broached.
