"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."
"Donald Trump has publicly lambasted prime minister Sir Keir Starmer over his plan to give up the Chagos Islands in yet another U-turn by the US president over the issue, just one day after backing it. Mr Trump warned the UK leader he was making a big mistake by entering [into] a 100-year lease with Mauritius over the islands, which are home to a joint US-UK military base."
"Prime minister Starmer should not lose control, for any reason, of Diego Garcia, by entering a tenuous, at best, 100 Year lease, the president wrote on his Truth Social platform. This land should not be taken away from the UK and, if it is allowed to be, it will be a blight on our Great Ally. We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of wokeism."
The Independent deploys reporters across issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and relies on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism while keeping content free of paywalls. The outlet investigates topics from Elon Musk's PAC finances to documentaries about American women's reproductive rights. President Donald Trump publicly criticized UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer for planning a 100-year lease of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, calling the move a mistake and warning that Diego Garcia should not be taken from UK control. Trump framed leases as unreliable and portrayed the transfer as a blow to the UK-US alliance.
