They wouldn't. I think he's thinking of movies like U-571 which
was an amalgam of two successful British missions to capture
Enigma machines but with Americans instead of British.

Why would they do that? Marketing, obviously. Also lots of US
series shot in Canada (with some US actors headlining) are said
to take place in the US, because that's where the source of
financing is. When my daughter was living in Toronto, her area
was popular and as many as forty tv shows could be shot around
there including a fair number of US shows. More for Vancouver.

Most of the series listed on the links below are said to be in
the US but are not.

Hell, sometimes we even see the Canadian flag or recognizeable
skyline.
