According 10 NBC News 100% of the CIA analysts do not think that Kim is going to give up their hard earned nuclear arsenal, ""Everybody knows they are not going to denuclearize".
So what do they think will win Trump over for normalization? A hamburger franchise.

In an odd twist, a list of potential concessions by North Korea in the CIA analysis included the possibility that Kim Jong Un may consider offering to open a Western hamburger franchise in Pyongyang as a show of goodwill, according to three national security officials.
It suggests Kim is interested in a peaceful gesture to an American president whose love of fast-food burgers is well known and who, during the 2016 campaign, had said he wanted to talk nukes over a burger with the North Korean leader.
Not the Onion, not Borowitz just the daily run down the idiot rabbit hole.

Maybe he'll propose building Trump Tower Pyongang. They can take the one in Chicago. It's not very popular here.
