    Yes in the speech he mention that Canada has made 20 international deals on trade and/or security.
    For instance Canada has made both a trade deal with EU, but Canada has also joined the EU SAFE partnership. Which is about development and appropriation of military equipment. Designed to speed up defense independence of USA.
    But 20 such agreements in a year is insane, because usually such agreements take many years to negotiate. And although some had been negotiated for years already, it is no coincidence that they all suddenly fall in place within a year of Trump taking the presidency of USA.
