North Korean state media has aired footage of Donald Trump awkwardly saluting a general in Kim Jong-un’s military as part of its first video package from the historic Singapore summit.
The brief interaction was featured in a 42-minute programme about the unprecedented summit between Mr Trump Mr Kim. The programme – with narration from the country’s most famous news presenter Ri Chun-hee – aired on state-run television on Thursday, a day after Mr Kim had returned to Pyongyang and two days after the meeting.
In the video, Mr Trump can be seen going to shake the hand of a North Korean general, who salutes the American president instead. The pair then try again, with the president saluting and the general looking to shake hands. They eventually settle on a handshake.
