That is the strangest outcome given all their prolonged and immature boasting, name-calling and threats. Neither do diplomacy!
Neither one was going to give way and perhaps the two recognised each others madness. You cannot play dangerous games and make threats about nuclear war and blowing the world to smithereens. Impasse reached and talks agreed. Weird.
