This seems like something that should not be lifted until North Korea fully agrees to denuclearize and act like a responsible member of the world community:
A staff member stands at the reception desk of a hotel, backdropped by a world map, in Pyongyang, North Korea, Oct. 23, 2014. The U.S. Thursday extended until Aug. 31, 2019, a ban for its citizens to travel to North Korea.
The U.S. on Thursday extended the ban on Americans’ travel to North Korea for another year, saying it was too dangerous to go there.
“The safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas is one of our highest priorities,” a State Department official said. “The travel warning for North Korea remains in place — the Department of State strongly warns U.S. citizens not to travel to North Korea.”

I’ve always said the US should make clear that the US government will do nothing if an American is arrested (kidnapped) in North Korea. They need to stand b hind that statement as well.
