North Korea have already showed some interesting moves, reset their clocks to no longer be half n hour behind that of South Korea, released U.S detainees, I do believe they are now in U.S Secretary of State's Mike Pompeo's custody as we speak.

Ok but given the problem with the Iranian deal is that it was only a stop on development of the weapons until a later date then surely the equivalent request from NK would be to give up the weapons they've already developed?
Isn't a bit inconsistent to be against the lifting of sanctions on Iran as the deal was only a stop-gap measure to halt their progression but be fine with it on North Korea even if they don't give up the weapons they already have?
I mean if Trump gets them to halt the development altogether than fair play to him but if the end result is Iran develops these weapons then what's the point? Even in the worst case scenario under the existing deal, that they develop them anyway, all that tearing up the deal does is bring that day closer.
