Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un shook hands in front of crossed flags on Sentosa Island, becoming the first sitting American president to meet a North Korean leader. They signed a thin joint statement. Subsequent meetings produced no denuclearization, but the optics and the photographs marked a new genre of strongman diplomacy.
