The USA produces about 80% of the world's Helium .

It is the second most abundant element in the Universe. When the singularity that preceded the universe erupted in what we call 'The Big Bang', hydrogen particles began to form, and from these helium resulted in the nuclear furnaces of the early stars.

Most of Earth's Helium is the result of radioactive decay, originating in the long run from the core of the Earth. There is a good article on Helium in wikipedia.

What is the country in which helium was discovered?

That's a little tricky. The first evidence for helium - a line in the solar spectrum taken during a solar eclipse - was discovered by a Frenchman, but he was in India at the time, and the helium itself was, of course, in the Sun. However, he thought it was due to sodium, so this may not count. The first person to realize that this spectral line must be due to a new element was an Englishman; I can't find out where he was when he did so, but I presume it was England. The first person to find evidence of helium on Earth was an Italian analyzing lava from Mt. Vesuvius (in Italy). The first person to isolate helium was a Scotsman, but he was working in University College London (England) at the time. Your mileage may vary as to whether Scotland and England are the same country or not. Since both the realization that helium was a new element and its eventual isolation were done in England, I think that country deserves the nod for the discovery.
