In the given sentence, the subject is "The president's speech." The verb "address" should agree with its subject in terms of number (singular or plural). Here, the subject is singular, so the verb must be in its singular form as well.

The correct form of the verb "address" in this case is "addresses." So the corrected sentence would be:

The president's speech addresses his commitment to improving relationships with major international trade partners.
