All Trump agreed to was an end to (probably needless) joint military exercises with South Korea, and they could resume very quickly if the Norks reneged on their promise to eliminate nuclear weapons. 

It's not like he sent a barge full of money to North Korea which was used to help prop up the regime like Clinton and Bush did, or like Obama did with Iran.

Military exercises with South Korea are far from needless. They play a vital role in establishing and reinforcing tactical and logistical strategies. Especially when dealing with a language barrier. However, since we conduct these exercises twice a year, the last one concluded not long ago, we still have the option of resuming the next one if NK goes wobbly.
