If you believe the manual found online https://info.publicintelligence.net/USAF-U2.pdf its 95 kts at 70,000 ft.

I think the current "big wing" R and S models are a little bit more forgiving. I got a tour of one at Prince Sultan AB back a while and IIRC he said they had 10 knots between overspeed and stall at altitude but I don't recall any specific numbers.

His comment about an all volunteer force, willing to lay down their lives for other other Americans is one of my favorite parts at the end of the video.
This was recorded I think about a decade ago. Our military leadership is currently destroying our all volunteer force with wokeness. A shame
