-President Trump and Kim Jong-un met in Singapore Tuesday

for the first-ever summit between an American president

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

he is currently attempting diplomacy over war,

That said, I do have some concerns based on some things

and also based on the fact that he is Donald Trump.

For example, Trump has managed this summit very much

like a made-for-TV spectacle, fueling speculation

about whether it would even happen or not.

Minting commemorative coins, writing dramatic letters,

and staging photo ops with game-show-sized envelopes.

Look at that -- it looks like Trump is auditioning

Yesterday, for example, they spent the day

obsessively tracking Kim Jong-un's whereabouts

in Singapore as he made his way about the town.

-Kim Jong-un, someone who rarely leaves his own country --

this is the furthest he's ever traveled --

is out and about on the town in Singapore.

-Kim Jong-un to be out strolling the streets of Singapore.

but clearly, you know, the night is young for Kim Jong-un.

What was that meeting like? Just three hours of Trump

So, Trump admitted he didn't prepare for the summit.

The key question going into the meeting was this.

And was asked that question over the weekend at the G7 in Canada,

and his answer did not inspire confidence.

-That's a good question -- How long would it take?

I think within the first minute, I'll know.

Just my touch, my feel. That's what I do.

-So Trump said he'd know if Kim was serious

from his touch and feel, and yesterday we got to see

that touch and feel with their first handshake.

The first handshake and photo op in history

with a North Korean leader and an American president.
