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.

South Korea's Foreign Ministry said the main aim of Washington talks between North Korea and the United States were to get the North to attend four-party peace talks in Geneva.

The US State Department said on Wednesday that talks between North Korean and American officials "were held in a businesslike manner". North and South Korea, the United States and China last week agreed to begin peace talks on 9 December.
