Point #1: I would read that quote as a reference to his administration and not just him personally. All the presidents you cite held talks and negotiations with the enemies of the day.

Roosevelt:
The negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese war
President Roosevelt to the Chancellor of Germany (Hitler)
Truman:
The Kaesong talks
etc....
