Kimchi does not want to lose face. A tete a` tete with an equal is a photo-op propaganda victory for Kimchi, no matterwhat the outcome.

How so? Kim has done nothing but paint the US as the great Satan, blah, blah, blah. How does it make him look better among his own people to meet with people he’s been verbally attacking on nearly a daily basis for years? And, given his position, why should he even CARE what his people think? It’s not like they’re going to overthrow him.
I think it gives Chubby Kimchi a level of stature he will use for propaganda purposes...Photo ops with the President of the US, most powerful man in world...He can spin it that his nuclear proliferation pays off...his
He may not have to worry abut re-election, but he is always worried about a coup—why he assassinated his brother, uncle, etc.
