This is akin to a dog growling at you, though of course this would clearly be more than just a growl or show of teeth. The message to Little Kim, "we are serious. You negotiate and give up your ambitions, or your reign and possibly your life is in peril".
If the U.S decides to take this action, I presume they will be pushing propaganda within the country to advise them of what the U.S is doing to circumvent the state narrative. If citizens are concerned, they might push through the Chinese border. The recent spat of soldiers fleeing to the South, might be a precursor.

The US is preparing plans to deliver a “bloody nose” attack against North Korea to knock out its nuclear weapons program.
The White House has “dramatically” ramped up its military plans amid fears that diplomacy won’t thwart North Korean despot Kim Jong Un from making good on his threats, sources told the UK’s Telegraph.
One option is destroying a launch site before the rogue regime uses it for a new missile test, while another is targeting weapons stockpiles, according to the news outlet.
The Trump administration hopes that pre-emptive action would show the trigger-happy dictator that the United States is serious about stopping his bellicose pursuits and persuading him to negotiate.
The Telegraph cited three anonymous sources, one inside the administration and two former officials familiar with the White House thinking.
“The Pentagon is trying to find options that would allow them to punch the North Koreans in the nose, get their attention and show that we’re serious,” a former US security official briefed on policy told the Telegraph.
President Trump’s decision to launch 59 cruise missiles against a Syrian airfield in response to the country’s chemical weapons attack that killed more than 80 civilians is considered an indication of his resolve, the paper reported.
