Glencore the parent company of the fledging Polymet company.

Do you trust them?

The company renamed itself Glencore and continued its shady practices, this time working with Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Under the 1996-2003 UN Oil-for-Food Program, Saddam would trade oil for humanitarian supplies. Turns out he was rewarding companies, like Glencore, that were friendly to his regime

Glencore also supplied precious metals to Iran after other mining companies Honered the ban opposed by the U.S. and the U.N. on its nuclear ban

Glencore at present owns over half of the known copper supplies in the world.

If it was the old U.S. steel company or some of the old iron ming companies that were U.S. based yes.
