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.A Chinese millionaire wants to buy 300sq km of wilderness in Iceland, raising fears that Beijing is trying to extend its influence into the North Atlantic.
Huang Nubo plans, if given permission by the Icelandic government, to use the land for a £61m eco-tourism and golf resort. He is ranked as China's 161st richest person.
Land around the world has been bought up by Chinese interests in recent years and there is concern that the planned purchase of Grímsstadir á Fjöllum, in the remote north-east of the country, would offer a foothold in a region that could become an important staging post if retreating ice cover leads to the oil and gas industry moving into the Arctic.
