"What type of idiot would believe NK will relinquish its nuclear weapons and ICBMs? "

You're right, that's why the adage of trust but verify. We can trust President Trump to have America's interests first. He will not be signing any deal unless there are real inspections and timelines for taking apart their program.

The one good concrete sign I see right now (other than all the goodwill talk) is the fact that they are not doing any tests. In order for their program to move forward they have to do testing so it is at least at a standstill right now and we have given up nothing to get to this point.

“The one good concrete sign I see right now (other than all the goodwill talk) is the fact that they are not doing any tests.”

The declared they had completed testing months ago following successful completion of nuclear, ICBM and SLBM testing. IOW they have completed development of both warhead and missile platforms. Ego, they have moved to serial production of warheads and missiles. Hence the need to buy time forestalling any attack until their stockpiles have increased to numbers beyond what the US can defend against.
