French mining giant to build Gabon manganese plant for USD286 million

Donald Trump has described the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as a "green scam" and vowed to repeal it after he returns to the White House in January.

Rolling back environmental regulations and speeding up permitting for oil and gas as well as mining projects could put pressure on Canada to do the same. 

The French miner was this year given a sales quota by the Asian nation that was 29% less than it expected.
