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.

LATIN AMERICAN worries and concerns about slower corporate profit growth hit share prices in Frankfurt, where the electronic Xetra Dax index closed down 3.01 per cent - or 155.24 points- at 5008.21. The floor Dax fell 2.66 per cent to 5,019.28.

Shares in Siemens fell 4.97 per cent to 57.80 euros after the firm said it expected sales growth to slow and car stocks fell after Volkswagen said the industry needed to rationalise. Banking stocks were also hit by concerns over exposure to Latin America.
