U‍.S. President Donald Trump will finally get to deliver his State of the Union (SOTU) address, the date and location of the second summit between Trump and leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong Un will (probably) be announced, Canada will host a Lima Group meeting over the Venezuela crisis after the group recognized Venezuela's opposition leader as interim president, and China and Portugal will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties.

Trump will deliver his SOTU speech on Tuesday, which was initially scheduled for January 29. The date was finally decided after Trump signed a bill to fund parts of the government through to February 15, surrendering to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in their fight over the government shutdown. Trump is known for his many "surprising" announcements, such as the latest scrap of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and troop pullout from Syria. Will he surprise the world again in his second SOTU address?

Trump said that the date and location of his second meeting with Kim Jong Un, leader of the DPRK, have been decided and will be announced within this week. U.S. Special Representative for the DPRK Stephen Biegun also traveled to Seoul on February 3  for a meeting with his DPRK counterpart Kim Hyok Chol to prepare for the second Trump-Kim summit scheduled later this month. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said the venue is "someplace in Asia." Will the summit be held in a Vietnamese city as reported by the media?

The situation in Venezuela is still highly volatile as political turmoil continues. On January 26, some Western countries sent an ultimatum demanding Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to call for new elections within eight days. The deadline expires on February 3. Meanwhile, Maduro proposed early parliamentary elections. Earlier before this decision, a senior air force general expressed his allegiance to the self-proclaimed interim president Guaido. On Monday, the Lima Group is convening a meeting in Ottawa to boost support for Juan Guaido. What will be the next chapter for the Latin American country – talks, more confrontation, or further economic sanctions?

China and Portugal established diplomatic relations on February 8, 1979. In 1999, the two countries properly resolved the question of Macao through friendly consultations. Beijing and Lisbon upgraded relations to comprehensive strategic partnership in 2005 with cooperation embarking on a fast lane of development. In early December last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a two-day state visit to Portugal and praised that this year is a "new starting point in history" for the bilateral relations.
