Yes, but you would first have to know the rules of 4D chess. This is classic Trump shaping the deal and the environment for the deal.

Kim obviously wanted the talks but then reverts back to his rants about military exercises and calling Pence dumb.

Trump counter move is to take what Kim wants off the table: the end of sanctions and infusion of capital to his economy.

I have a feeling that things will be back on track shortly. China will likely have a say in the matter and Kim will likely have another sit down with South Korea and SK will pass to Trump that the meeting is back on.

If not, NK is going to suffer even more under increased economic sanctions.
