Obama didn’t do it for no reason. And I disagreed with it, vocally, when he did it.

That’s not the reason, however, that NK is balking at talks right now.

They’re balking because:

  1. Bolton’s tone toward the situation is a lot harder than Pompeo’s, and they don’t know which way they’re going to be treated.
  2. The US is proceeding with military exercises with SK.

It has nothing to do with how Obama treated Qaddafi.
