Trump saluting a North Korean general.
Weird.

I suppose in the USA it’s also usual for the lower ranked person to salute first, then the higher ranked salutes back, higher ranked puts hand down again and then the lower ranked puts the hand down?
So by saluting to a North Korean general the highest man of the US-american army says he’s ranked lower than some North Korean general.

But usually, a civilian, or s.b. without uniform does not salute. Or is that different in the US? At least I don’t remember any of our (German) ministers of defence saluting a general.

Nah, the president is a civilian and actually isn’t supposed to salute at all.
