The new transmountain line could have more pumping stations added. That's not a huge adder to capacity but might get another couple hundred thousand barrels a day to tidewater and away from the Americans. It would only take a couple of years to build (if that) since it wouldn't require any new pipe, just new pumping stations. If you shorten the regulatory process on that from "forever" to "6 months and only discuss it with the people directly affected in the local area" then it could be done before Trump is out of office.
It also sends a message to the Americans that I think is helpful.
