It'll be a bunch of brown-nosing by Trump followed by some miniscule "progress" that gets heralded as a breakthrough only possible by Trump ad nauseum. Followed by N Korea not doing it but by then no-one who votes Trump gives a shit. We'll be too busy provoking $safe_target in order to generate front page noise... sorry, news. N Korea had its 15 minutes.
Nuclear tests probably won't resume anyway (they already did their 6 tests which puts them in the nuclear club) so it's long term stalemate.
The only hope is more resignations from Trump's team which is composed of "Libya model" types ready to right the world with military options.
