I think everything Kim is doing right now is centered around two objectives: (1) legitimizing his position as a leader on the world stage; and (2) reducing tensions with South Korea while dividing the US and the South. I don’t think he has any intention of actually denuking (and I can’t imagine a likely scenario where it’s in his actual best interest to do so). I think his meetings today with the South are helping both of these objectives. I think he’ll “invent†some reason to cause the talks with the US to break down, and I think he’ll try to paint Trump as the bad guy there. Meeting with, but standing up to, the US President will probably further solidify his standing in his country. It'll also gain him lots of propaganda value. Depending upon how he plays it, it may even garner some sympathy on the world stage. I hope I’m wrong and hope he’s serious about denuking, but I doubt it.
