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.JOHNSON MATTHEY, the world's top marketer of precious metals, and General Motors, the world's largest automaker, agreed to settle a six-year legal dispute over the supply of automotive catalysts and will work together to develop new fuel-cell technology.
GM and Johnson Matthey fell out in 1993 over a supply pact, as "both companies felt the other was in breach of that agreement,'' said John Sheldrick, Johnson Matthey's finance director. The companies have applied to the US federal court in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to have their respective claims dismissed. Johnson Matthey shares rose 15.5 pence, or 2.4 per cent, to a 52-week high of 649.5p.
