U.S. President Donald Trump saluted a North Korean general in an awkward moment captured on video and broadcast by North Korean state media Thursday.<\/p>\n

The brief interaction was featured in a 42-minute-long program about Tuesday’s unprecedented summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The program, narrated by North Korea’s most famous newscaster, Ri Chun-hee, aired on state-run television two days after the summit in Singapore and a full day after Kim returned home to his country’s capital, Pyongyang.<\/p>\n

In the video, Trump can be seen going to shake the hand of a North Korean general, who salutes the American president instead. Trump then returns the salute before the two finally shake hands, while Kim looks on as a grin spreads across his face.<\/p>\n

The footage also offered a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Kim’s trip, including his arrival in Singapore on a chartered Air China flight and his motorcade driving past what appeared to be a warm welcome from throngs of people crammed on the streets.<\/p>\n

In the video, Kim can also be seen lounging in his swanky room at the St. Regis Singapore, one of the most luxurious hotels on the island city-state, and heading out for an evening tour the night before the summit.<\/p>\n

North Korean viewers had to wait almost 20 minutes into the program for Trump’s first appearance. The video included the lengthy handshake between the two leaders, which took place before their one-on-one meeting at the luxury Capella Hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island.<\/p>\n
