Why Starmer has no choice but to roll out the red carpet for Trump (again)
"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."
"Peter Mandelson has learned that favours for, and loyalty to, a sex offender can end a sticky career. Keir Starmer this week is bringing the King himself into a bid to charm another American who's been found liable for sexual assault, convicted of felonies, and is a serial bankrupt. Mandelson oiled up to Jeffrey Epstein because Britain's former ambassador to Washington has always seemingly been mesmerised by power and money. Starmer has organised Donald Trump's state visit, pomp, parades and banquets as a strategic necessity to wean the US president off the Russian teat."
Journalists are being deployed on the ground to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, with donations funding continued reporting. Investigations include financial scrutiny of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and documentaries spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet forgoes paywalls and relies on public support from those who can afford it to keep journalism accessible. Political actors in the UK are engaging the US president through a state visit and royal involvement to preserve trade relations and limit the domestic spread of Trump-aligned ideologies. Tariffs and past legal findings against Trump inform the strategic calculus behind the engagement.
