North Korea state TV airs footage of Trump saluting North Korean military officer

North Korean state media early Tuesday broadcast its first video of President Trump's historic summit with Kim Jong Un, including footage of Trump saluting a North Korean officer.

In parts of the lengthy, 42-minute long video from North Korea's KCTV news channel, Kim can be seen shaking Trump's hand before the president turns to shake the hand of a North Korean officer standing next to Kim. The officer, confused, salutes Trump instead, prompting the president to salute back.

U.S. presidents generally salute U.S. service members, but do not salute members of other nation's militaries.

Looks like a moment of confusion and a quick response, not a big deal, but they'll try to make more of it than it is.

What would we have said if this happened under Obama?
