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.The Security Council defined the border between Iraq and Kuwait in an attempt to end the tensions that led to the Gulf war, AP reports from New York.
But Baghdad refused to accept the 202-kilometre (126-mile) border mapped out over the last two years by the UN's Iraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission. The council voted 15-0 to accept the commission's report and demanded that both Iraq and Kuwait respect it.
