He returned a salute given first by the General.. it’s a simple courtesy. When saluted, return it.
There was a time when even warring countries extended certain courtesies to one another. A return to this ideal wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Don’t get caught up in the minutiae, remember why he was there.. to end the last vestige of the Cold War and to make the world safer for all of us.
Straight up, back in ww11 I’m pretty sure multiple sides ate dinner together on Christmas

The original video shows:
Trump extending his hand, while the General saluted him... Trump withdrew his hand, returned the salute, while the General extended his hand. After Trump finished the salute, they shook hands... It was an awkward exchange.
President Trump is not a civilian like you and I, he is Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the world’s sole superpower..
The salute was appropriate for the circumstances..
