Trump has a pretty short shelf life, and beyond that he's very unpredictable and could remove the tariffs on a whim. Why would a company significantly invest in expanding their US production and increasing their costs in light of that unpredictability?

Sorry my mistake. Thought you guys were talking about setting up refining capacity in Canada.
