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.

Taoiseach Brian Cowen and British Prime Minister David Cameron are set to discuss economic issues and recent developments in Northern Ireland when they meet in London today.

The Downing Street talks mark the first formal meeting for the pair since Mr Cameron took office last month.

The Taoiseach and the Prime Minister - who spoke in the margins of the European Council in Brussels last week - are also expected to discuss future relations between Ireland and Britain.

Other topics on the agenda include financial matters, key issues for the European Union, and the G20 summit in Canada this weekend.

The meeting was arranged when the two men spoke by telephone after Mr Cameron took over from Gordon Brown on May 11.
