As things stand after the summit between North Korea and the United States, there is no place for North Korea among trading partners on the world stage. North Korea is still ostracized from legitimacy. It is still a pariah in the international trading community.
It may trade with China back and forth; but its ports appear confined to the limits of a tacit blockade, narrowly circumscribing those countries with whom it is granted acceptance as a legitimate trading, equal partner. I get the impression from the war games periodically held, as a threat to North Korean independence, that a de facto blockade exists, reinforced by the military might of the United States in conjunction with that of South Korea.
To demilitarize the Korean Peninsula must imply permitting North Korea to be elevated to an equal status among trading nations, freely capable to import and export goods from its shores without incrimination.
