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.Everton are giving United States international Edson Buddle a trial this week.
Manager David Moyes is keen to increase his options up front and he is taking a look at the 30-year-old striker, currently at FC Ingolstadt.
The German second division side are on their winter break, allowing the former Los Angeles Galaxy player to come to Merseyside.
Buddle is represented by the same agents as Toffees goalkeeper Tim Howard and on-loan Galaxy forward Landon Donovan, both fellow Americans.
He scored 42 times in 87 appearances for the Galaxy between 2007 and 2010 and has six goals in 17 league appearances for Inglostadt this season.
Buddle's representative Richard Motzkin, managing executive of Wasserman Media Group Global Football Group, confirmed on Twitter: "For those asking, my client Edson Buddle will be on trial this week at Everton FC."
