Washington (CNN) Newly released video footage from North Korean state media shows President Donald Trump returning a salute to a North Korean military general during this week’s summit in Singapore, an extraordinary display of respect from a US president to a top officer of a hostile regime.

In the military, returning a salute from a military officer of a friendly foreign nation is common practice for US military officers and considered a display of military professionalism. There is no rule that a US president is obliged to return a salute, which is considered a sign of mutual respect.
After Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un walk down a colonnade to shake hands, the pair walk together into a room with various members of Kim’s delegation, the video shows.

Trump starts to shake hands with those in the room. Upon encountering North Korean Gen. No Kwang Chol, who was in full uniform, Trump first extends his hand, to which the general responds with a salute. Trump then salutes back, then extends his hand again and the two men shake hands.
CNN has reached out to the White House and National Security Council for comment.

Trump frequently salutes people he sees in a military uniform, and he saluted Singapore military officials while visiting there for the summit with Kim. But North Korea operates one of the most oppressive regimes on Earth, and despite the President’s declaration on Wednesdaythat the country is “no longer a nuclear threat,” it is considered a major US adversary.

Retired Rear Adm. John Kirby, a military and diplomatic analyst for CNN, called the moment “striking.”

“They can see a propaganda value here and this is basically them showing the level of deference and respect that Trump has paid to them and to their military leaders,” Kirby told CNN’s Poppy Harlow on “CNN Newsroom.” “It was an inappropriate for him to do from a protocol perspective, but now he’s played right into the North’s propaganda about their legitimacy on the world stage.”
Kirby said the appropriate thing for Trump to do in that situation would have been to nod his head and shake the general’s hand.

“(Trump’s) the commander in chief. He doesn’t even salute his own generals. They salute him. That’s the way it works. You don’t certainly don’t do it with leaders of foreign military and you most certainly don’t do it with the leaders of foreign militaries of an adversary nation.”

Trump’s salute also evokes criticism President Barack Obama received early in his presidency when he bowed to Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah. At the time, Trump called Obama an “amateur.”
CNN’s Noah Gray, Jennifer Deaton, Barbara Starr and Ryan Browne contributed to this report.

The media will critic everything and anything for a quick buck.

This is what counts as news nowadays…

I wonder why the American Media ignored it though? They spent a lot of time with Drumpf showing off his ride. Well the North Koreans decided if you won’t show it, we’ll show it.

Presidents aren’t required to return salutes to military personnel, even U.S. soldiers — Ronald Reagan supposedly started the tradition of the president regularly returning the salute to members of the U.S. military. And it is highly out of the ordinary for a president to return the salute of a member of a foreign military.
Michael Desch, a professor at the University of Notre Dame who has written about the civilian leadership of the U.S. military, said the salute didn’t strike him as a breach of etiquette, but it did seem unusual — especially because it involved a foreign military official.

“Bottom line, the picture makes me feel basically the same way I do when I see men in suits with no ties or wearing untucked shirts with French cuffs and jeans,” Desch wrote in an email. “It just seems vaguely improper.”

Better a saluting president than a wimp who bows to Islam.

In your knickers maybe.

I think the most stunning thing is that saluting countries which he pompously calls shitholes, is quite a turnaround. It was obvious he was not going to achieve the bullying he wanted out of North Korea and to save face he had to come up with something agreeable to both sides - he had to humble himself. Bet that’ll never happen again.
