As opposed to other strong allies with mutual foes? We are far from the only one. I doubt this had anything to do with Trump, and more to do with closed talks that happened following the Olympics.

North Korea Says They Will Stop Testing Nukes

All this attention North Korea has been getting recently is really irritating to me.
North Korea doesn't matter; they're a pathetic joke.
They're the nation state equivalent of the short bus.
The only threat they pose to anyone is the threat they pose to themselves.
They pander to international media (which is going to buy their garbage because it makes for an interesting media narrative) because their leadership is terrified by how weak they are and how ineffective they would be if they were ever to act aggressively towards another country and how ineffective they would be in defending themselves if any other nation decided to stop laughing at them, set aside their pity towards them and went after them.

The threat I see isn't a direct one to the Americastan.
Its the possibility of war with S Korea, which could
very well happen due to provocation & even by accident.
Recall that USA & USSR almost went to war because
of automated system faults. However it begins, we'd
draw in.
A short bus can be driven by a murderous psychopath,
or the brakes could fail.

Are you sure you know where north Korea is?

Yes I am.
And its geography has nothing to do with its potential threat to the world.
In the news.....
North Korea’s nuclear test site has collapsed, scientists confirm
North Korea’s mountain nuclear test site has collapsed, putting China and other nearby nations at unprecedented risk of radioactive exposure, two separate groups of Chinese scientists studying the issue have confirmed.
The collapse after five nuclear blasts may be why North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared on Friday that he would freeze the hermit state’s nuclear and missile tests and shut down the site, one researcher said.
The last five of Pyongyang’s six nuclear tests have all been carried out under Mount Mantap at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in North Korea’s northwest.
One group of researchers found that the most recent blast tore open a hole in the mountain, which then collapsed upon itself. A second group concluded that the breakdown created a “chimney” that could allow radioactive fallout from the blast zone below to rise into the air.

I do not plan to go into a lot of detail unless someone is interested, but there is a problem with the geology of North Korea that it is not suitable for nuclear testing. What is required is stable large Granitic formations that form the core of major large mountain ranges. The whole region is highly prown to natural earthquakes. Their present test site was used for progressively higher yield nuclear tests. The evidence indicates that the recent test was a hydrogen bomb of sufficient yield that it caused the unstable collapse of part of the mountain and may have made the mountain unstable for further tests. This likely ended the testing for that mountain, and the rest of North Korea mountains are unsuitable for high yield tests. The highly publicized blowing up the tunnels and closing the test site is a ruse as far as any real change in North Korea nuclear policy.

Said test site seffered from an explosion on site. It is like swearing off my car after I wrecked it.
And, once again, ...
