It's diplomacy. It's a gesture. Not everything has to be transactional when it doesn't cost anything but a couple hours of time.

Sure, and it's objectively a diplomatic win for North Korea. But what diplomatic outcome is expected for the U.S. for visiting the DPRK for the first time?
Time will tell. Instead of a hostile approach, a little gesture on both ends could go a long way... Or nowhere... But it is an attempt, no?
An American president visiting the DPRK is not a little gesture, it is a big gesture.
