It doesn't look like. They did what they wanted to do (test their nukes and ballistic missiles) and now they're offering the carrot of better relations with their south counterpart. Trump has been substantially ignored.

Why are they offering that carrot now, if not as a reaction to Trump?

What carrot? They’re just replaying the “Sunshime Policy” symbolic crap from the 80’s. This is pure DPRK playbook material to drive a political wedge between the ROK and US.

I'd say because they're done anyway with what they were doing, for the moment. They don't need to launch missiles all the time.
