You should really distinguish between "the US" and "the Trump admin". This may be a little hard, but the latter has no credibility internationally.
The Trump administration is clearly pushing for a stronger take on North Korea and its had no problems lying in the past. Sure North Korea might be behind this, but at this point Trumps credibility is so low they might as well be blaming unicorns.

Is this a thing that is possible to do? Given that the trump admin is literally the highest office in the US, and it's common for the lower orgs to parrot things from the top, it seems very difficult to make this distinction.
