The domestic Russia/election crisis, if it comes to a head, could scupper the best chance for a full, US-backed peace treaty in Korea for several decades.

But conversely he has also unpicked a deal with Iran which led to them abandoning their nuclear programme and their military galvanising the fight against Daesh/IS.
He has raised tensions with North Korea, and it is South Korean diplomatic efforts which are currently bearing fruit. |  | | |

He hasn't quite carried through on his threat to ditch the Iranian deal as yet.
And yes, Trump is not the biggest factor in creating the situation where a Korean deal is a possiblity (those being the change of government in the South and the opportunity of the Olympics). However, I do think he's probably the best man to get on well with Kim Jong Un from the American side. Won't ask awkward questions about human rights, sees himself as a dealmaker, lacks some of the traditional Republican ideological prejudices and is hungry for some sort of clear, demonstable success. Plus personality-wise, I'd guess they're quite well matched. | |
