I really don't get why some people think TALKING is so bad.
Some people have misconstrued it as "appeasement", which is inane.
He could go over them and "talk" to them to say "Knock it off or I'm going to f### you up".
During the Cold War, did we ever have a stance where America insisted it should NEVER talk to Russia?
I don't remember any such thing, and they had the capability to destroy us multiple times over.
Hell. We talked to them as they were trying to install nukes in Cuba, right???

What you just did is equivalent to saying "Widget-stan held diplomatic talks with America today. The leader of Widget-stan met with the RNC."
The leader of Widget-stan would meet with the PRESIDENT. The president may be a member of the RNC, but he is meeting with the President.
