Answer 1

He wants to supply fuel and food, two very basic things that North Korea lacks in spades. The intial 50K tons of fuel will be provided by South Korea, not the US.

Think of it this way: NK has virtually no interest in the welfare of its citizens -- thus the perpetual lack of fuel and food -- so if we can get them to agree to do something we want AND have them accept supplies for the welfare of their citizens, we win and so do the NK people. (Consider the alternative: the NK leadership could ask that in exchange for their concessions the Rolex/DVD/Prime Rib/expensive champagne/replacement parts for their MiGs exports not be curtailed, something that would provide no benefit for the NK citizens.)
