Donald Trump’s speech was long in duration but light on breaking news.
While the president may have hoped he would be able to announce a mineral deal with Ukraine, the best he could do was read a conciliatory letter from Volodymyr Zelensky that the Ukrainian president had posted on X hours earlier.

In the end, Trump’s speech may be most remembered for his partisan needling of Democrats in the audience, and their icy, sign-waving reactions.
