Trump did already get the 3 hostages back safely. I would maybe give them an olive branch of some sort. Their country is starving. What if we gave the poorest parts of the country some large shipments of food as a gesture of good faith?

Peace through strength is what Trump preaches but yes, helping out the less fortunate could be looked upon kindly by the people of North Korea.
Unfortunately Kim Jong-un will frame anything that the West gives to the North Korean as something that he gave to the people. Third world dictators have a long history of using charity given to their country to strengthen their regime and to oppress their people.
this has been tried before during catastrophic famine under previous, Clinton and/or Bush, administration. the intent was good. the execution was not. the required infrastructure needed to distribute the aid was not in place. if it was, it was in regime's control. the intended aid fell into the regime's hand at the end, not the needed.
