The US has a long and checkered tradition of making deals with the Norks.
Deals which SUCK.
“Deals which SUCK”.
Because of small minds thinking small. As you are advocating.
Blow the quibbling off the table and replace it with a level of personal greed and largess unlike anything any of them have ever before experienced.
And, offer them a ratified treaty with a clause that guarantees the US will forever offer Kim and his top 100 asylum in the US and protection from the International Court in the Hague.
You know, for the crimes against humanity they have perpetrated over 75 years.
Think big.
Reunification with Seoul as the capital and the entire peninsula in the American orbit.
Or, annihilation.
Put it on the Underhill’s bill.
