Maybe the Americans will start making concrete houses! How big is the difference between concrete and wood houses?
I imagine that on the margins other materials will be used more. It depends on conditions, to some extent. Wood is more flexible, so if you're on tectonically active or shifting land, you really want wood over rigid materials.
The other part, which Trump tweeted about, is that America has plenty of potential lumber. I bet we'll be hearing that whatever restrictions are preventing American lumberjacking are being relaxed/repealed.
