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.AROUND 100 British lorry drivers were facing the threat of road blocks in Greece last night after angry farmers closed one of the main routes out of the country. The blockade at the Tembi junction, which is the main route for traffic coming into Greece from mainland Europe, has been mounted as part of a domestic dispute over taxation.
Hauliers heading towards southern Europe are being warned by trade body the Freight Transport Association that they may face delays. Farmers' leaders met Greek agriculture ministry officials yesterday but failed to resolve the dispute.
