In his address to Congress, lasting one hour and 39 minutes, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated inaccurate claims, particularly regarding America's support for Ukraine and the state of the US economy, a Polish analyst has said.

According to Radosław Rybkowski, an expert on American politics from Jagiellonian University in Kraków, southern Poland, Trump "will not face repercussions for using false information" in his speech because such rhetoric is tolerated within his political circles.

Rybkowski, in a comment for broadcaster Polish Radio, said that "this type of behavior" is common in Trump’s environment.

Additionally, Ukraine's government denied claims that President Volodymyr Zelensky had sent a letter to Trump, clarifying that the quoted passage came from Zelensky’s social media.
