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.

NISSAN MOTOR, Japan's second-largest car maker, could sell its truckmaking division to German rival Daimler-Benz in an attempt to trim its large debt.

The company said yesterday that it was planning to reach agreement with Daimler-Benz as early as July on areas of cooperation that could include the sale of Nissan Diesel Motor Co, Japan's fourth-largest truckmaker.

Nissan holds an industry-high Y2.5 trillion in interest-bearing debt and plans to trim Y1 trillion in debt by March 2001.
