1. **Problem statement:** Given that line segment \( \overleftrightarrow{ST} \) is tangent to circle \( \odot Q \) at point \( S \), and \( m\angle U = 65^\circ \), find \( m\angle T \).
2. **Key fact:** The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency. Therefore, \( \angle QST = 90^\circ \).
3. **Triangle setup:** Triangle \( TSU \) has angles \( \angle T \), \( \angle U = 65^\circ \), and \( \angle S \).
4. **Find \( \angle S \):** Since \( \angle QST = 90^\circ \) and \( S \) lies on the circle, \( \angle S = 90^\circ \).
5. **Sum of angles in triangle:** The sum of interior angles in triangle \( TSU \) is \( 180^\circ \). So,
$$
\angle T + \angle U + \angle S = 180^\circ
$$
6. **Substitute known values:**
$$
\angle T + 65^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ
$$
7. **Simplify:**
$$
\angle T + 155^\circ = 180^\circ
$$
8. **Solve for \( \angle T \):**
$$
\angle T = 180^\circ - 155^\circ = 25^\circ
$$
**Final answer:** \( m\angle T = 25^\circ \).
