“But in the early 2000s, mining companies proposed new #CopperMines in the #NationalForest near the wilderness, and according to Luke Goldstein of The Lever, the owner of Antofagasta, Chilean billionaire #AndrónicoLuksic, began to try to get leases from the U.S. government for exclusive mining rights to the lands near the #BWCAW in 2012. In 2013, conservationists began a campaign to #BanMining there, and in 2016 the Obama administration blocked Luksic’s plans. Shortly after 47 was elected in 2016, Luksic bought a mansion in Washington, D.C., that he then rented to Trump’s daughter #Ivanka and son-in-law #JaredKushner.”
