As for the US producers crying wolf, that depends on how you look at it.
They were going broke; the big ones were all on the block last year, but
with few interested buyers. Why that happens to be can take a while to
answer. There are several big factors, some of which are within their
control and some of which aren't.

It's happened in the rest of the world, why not in the US as well?
