12. I remember Bill Clinton being interviewed about having to meet with Kim Jong Il

Feb 2017

In order to secure the release of the two journalists who had been captured and imprisoned by North Korea. (This was after he was president)

He explained how hard it was to take photos with Kim Jong Il where his face would have to appear entirely neutral. He didn't want to smile but he didn't want to seem overly dour either and risk failing to get their release.

I suspect it's much like this for Prime Minister Trudeau right now.
