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.

Orange shortage

The price of freshly squeezed orange juice could rise by 20 per cent unless the Brussels Commission changes its rules on imports, Lord Plumb, leader of the Tory MEPs, warned. The Late Valencia orange is the only fruit which meets British standards for freshly squeezed juice, but it is unavailable in Europe between December and April. Off-season imports from Cuba, Jamaica and South Africa have been hit by new high tariffs under the GATT world trade deal.
