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.Vietnam delivered six documents about missing Americans from the Vietnam War to United Statws negotiators, and the White House envoy, General John Vessey, reported progress in their talks, Reuter reports from Hanoi.
Vietnamese officials said the papers included a list of 386 American prisoners whom Hanoi said it was holding in 1972, a list apparently given to the US for the first time. Delegations led by Mr Vessey and the Vietnamese Foreign Minister, Nguyen Manh Cam, held five hours of talks about the Americans' search for more than 2,000 US servicemen unaccounted for from the war, which ended in 1975.
