After an unusually provocative 2017 during which North Korea tested a thermonuclear warhead and three intercontinental ballistic missiles, Kim Jong Un initiates diplomacy in his annual New Year address. He called for improved relations and engagement with South Korea but added he has a nuclear button on his desk.Trump responded that he has a bigger and more powerful nuclear button adding "And my Button works".

North Korea suspended nuclear and Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) tests and planned to close its nuclear test site as part of a shift in its national focus to developing its economy. Pompeo, US Secretary of State, made another visit to Pyongyang to prepare for the Trump-Kim summit. North Korea released three Americans who had been imprisoned. |
| In May 2018, Trump announced he will meet with Kim in Singapore on June 12. After few days, North Korea abruptly cancelled a high-level meeting with the South and threatened to cancel the Summit with Trump too in protest over U.S.-South Korean military exercises and U.S. commented that the North should follow the "Libya model" of denuclearization by eliminating everything upfront. North Korean envoy Kim Yong Chol, the most senior North Korean official visited the United States. He arrived in New York for pre-summit negotiations with Pompeo. After meeting Kim Yong Chol at the White House, Trump announced that his meeting with Kim Jong Un is back on for June 12.
