If North Korea cannot be "talked" down...it will be taken down. There is not any way that the US will allow North Korea to build a Nuclear arsenal...and more importantly develop ICBM's.

Sadly the term "talked down" is not a quality the US Admin is known for. It suffers a chronic lack of any form of diplomacy and frankly, is not trusted by other nations.
The US is known as a country that "invades" with a strong military force, dropping bombs, "threating", "warning" and issuing "ultimatums". All this is the easy bit as the bully on any block knows well, - he also, is the one incapable of "diplomacy".
Reducing conflict requires more than threats and involves much more effort than pressing buttons to dispatch bombs and threatening. As is evidenced in both Afhghanistan and Iraq, the "peace" is harder to achieve.
On North Korea, the typical US response was hit upon on your quote - "the US will allow North Korea to build .." Much as I do not agree with nuclear profliferation, it is not a question of what the "US will not allow". The US is not the government of North Korea. This kinda comment shows, once again, a degree of arrogance.
Meanwhile, all countries (excluding N Korea), involved in nuclear activities are subject to IAEA monitoring. It is notable that this monitoring excludes the US which has more WMD than all nations combined and is run by an Admin that makes rhetorical statements inviting people to attack the US, namely "Bring em on!".
