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.In announcing his candidacy for president, Donald Trump began by claiming the US is losing to China and Japan, especially in trade matters.
He said that American roads are crawling with Japanese cars, while Japanese cars are completely devoid of American-made vehicles. Mr Trump asked, "When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo"?
So we looked into it.
