There's a chance the tariffs will be rejected by the Supreme Court within a year, a chance something political happens within the next two years (senators and representatives will turn on Trump as soon as he becomes a liability in the next election), and new management will be here in four years.

Too much is in flux to make an expensive decision that won't see value for years. There'd need to be grants to jump start construction.
