Considering that news that SEALS did a failed raid before the NK summit that killed 3 fisherman. I dont think Kim is really interested in talking to Trump and the US doesnt really want to upset the status quo right now. North Korea modernized quite signifgantly since the last time Trump and Kim met.
North Korea is now building Frigates with ballistic missiles, Nuclear submarines, New ground vehciles, multiple new ballistic missiles (sea/ground launched) etc etc. Hypersonic glide vehciles meant to take out carriers and other ships alike etc etc.... I could go on but you get the idea.
NK is has the capability to strike the Most of the US besides the far east coast of the US. But Maine to Texas can expect to see Hwasong-15's coming down from the sky now. Back when Trump was President during these talks, only Hawaii was threatened.
Russia really did a LOT to bring NK up to speed on its missiles and their partnership is pretty much unbreakable. Its best for the US to not talk about the elephant in the room which is NK. The US was demanding NK to denuclearize which surprised the Norks a bit and why the talks never really went anywhere. With how armed they are now.... yeah just ignore it. You get the idea.

I mean the same can be said about China, the US has to get used to the reality that they are not the top dog in Asia anymore. The Trade talks show that, you got articles like this coming out now.
