We know two things, until Trump American policy towards North Korea has never resulted in a meeting between a president and a sitting North Korean leader. And that previous presidents' approaches to NK have failed, including Obama. I don't know if Trump's approach is a flash in the pan or not but he's already made something happen.

I think it is actually China rather than Trump that has brought North Korea to negotiations. I suspect that with China's actions we would be somewhat further ahead than we (Trump) actually is now. Likes of Trump and his Twitter insults and Bolton, etc. has put a solution back and that the initial meeting has gone ahead speaks more of China's influence than Trump's abilities.
