I mean, they're not mutually exclusive. Nobody was about to start openly threatening the Americans, but having French forces around and mulling over defence deals with France sends a signal.

We don't know what Macron and Trudeau talked about, but accelerating things like this in light of the new reality could well have been part of it.
