One test site was taken down but that was the one which seems as if was close to collapse and this occurred before Trump's 'deal' with them. They released hostages before under Obama too. The remains of soldiers in the Korean War is good though.
However N.Korea do not appear to be denuclearising:

Pompeo was under increased pressure to show progress after reports that Kim expanded his nuclear weapons production in the run up the Singapore summit. The discoveries have further undercut Trump’s assertion that North Korea was “no longer a nuclear threat.” The regime is estimated to have as many as 60 nuclear bombs, plus missiles that can reach the U.S.

On top of the fact there is no progress in them giving up the weapons they don't seem to have slowed production of existing ones. Earlier on in the thread we talked about how activity is increasing in one of their plants.
Trump is a long way from the peace prize. There needs to be tangible change in North Korea for that to happen.

We've been here before. This is not the first diplomatic success we've had with North Korea that failed.

Every 10 or so years we have a great agreement with them and then nothing happens.

The Never-Trumpers need to start realising, Trump is not going anywhere soon. He has maintained his resilience than any other president. All the knock backs, all the negative hysteria would have destroyed any other president. Trump doesn’t care about the haters, he has his rock solid base and it is still growing.

He is the President of the United States. We're not One Direction or Taylor Swift fans arguing over which one is better.
