If Dictator Kim Jong Un opens the economic and social flood gates billions and billions of dollars of investments in physical infrastructure to support business inevitably will surge into North Korea. North Korea will develop state of the art infrastructure for communications and transportation one might guess because of the lack of contemporary ossified infrastructure. South Korea will probably be as large a factor of investment as was West Germany in East Germany after reunification.
West Germany invested more than $1.7 trillion dollars in East Germany, and bringing North Korea up to speed may cost just somewhat less; perhaps a trillion dollars, over a decade or so. Without South Korean investment in the North with the prospect of reunification, the pace of mass infrastructure would find it difficult to support all the business investments' need for infrastructure. Business is a head with no body to support it in most cases outside pure colonial style exploitation of raw resources with only the most minimal infrastructure needed for resource acquisition.

This may be a blind spot in President Trump's point of view toward creating free markets and trade in North Korea. And it is unlikely that the United States can afford to create a 'Marshall Plan' for North Korea that would develop a new technology of microwave toilet systems and pure drinking water. It may be able to afford some ecological rescue investments and a few billion dollars for reconstruction yet one sees how the Puerto Rico rebuild went; costly and time consuming.
After the four leaders (including Dennis Rodman) win their Nobel Prize for Peace, the reality of the cost of rebuilding the north will set in. Its worth the cost.
