Why would North Korea denuclearize when the US still hasn't?

But Trump made a deal. The best deal in the history of deals.

Did the US uphold its end of the deal?

As far as I remember, the US interpreted "their end of the deal" differently than NK did.

That's exactly my point: Trump will "negotiate" the same way, will brag about a "deal" in the same way, and nothing will change in the same way, because both sides aren't really interested in substantial change in the same way.

Deals with the US aren't worth the paper they're written on.

USians can't possibly comprehend other countries having agency.
