#1 If the Trump administration blinks now there will be more and more substantial demands before the summit.

American hostages are free, the sanctions are in place, why allow North Korea to unilaterally alter the preconditions for the summit?

#6 Since it's the smart thing to do, Trump should postpone the exercises as a gesture of good will.

My first impulse is to say "*bleep* 'em!, but since everyone is trying to make nice maybe a little consideration wouldn't hurt. Perhaps move the exercises over towards Japan. Or even better, invite the Norks to participate.
(no, not as targets, as partners. We're all gonna be friends, right?)

#7 Kim is most likely dealing with a hard line military internal command structure loathing his recent concessions. He needs this concession to settle down the internal noise on his end.
