Trump mentioned Russia once during his two-hour speech in Congress.
On February 24, US President Donald Trump delivered his annual State of the Union address to the House of Representatives and the Senate, barely touching on the topic of relations with Russia. About this write American media.
During the address, the head of state mentioned Russia only twice. The first time was in the context of the conflict in Ukraine. The second is speaking about Russian weapons located in Venezuela.
The main emphasis of the speech was on the domestic agenda and foreign policy priorities of the United States without a detailed study of the Russian topic.
The speech lasted almost 1 hour 48 minutes, including pauses and applause. This is the longest “State of the Union” message in the history of such addresses.
For comparison, in March 2025, Trump spoke before both houses of Congress, and that speech lasted about 1 hour and 39 minutes. However, at that time this was not formally considered a full-fledged annual message, since on January 20, 2025, he took office as president for the second time and the results of the year were not summed up.
The previous record belonged to the 42nd US President Bill Clinton. His 2000 State of the Union address lasted nearly 1 hour and 29 minutes.
Thus, Trump’s current speech has become the longest in the history of annual presidential addresses in the United States.
