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.

ROLLS-ROYCE is to place $50m more aircraft-engine parts orders in China over the next six years, the aerospace and defence group said yesterday. The contracts will be carried out by three companies under Aviation Industries of China (AVIC).

Turnover at Rolls-Royce's $30m joint venture with Xian XR Aerocomponents is set to exceed $22m by 2000 and it will be the single supplier for some components in Rolls-Royce engines.
