On MSNBC, the video playing at this time shows the NK General saluting Trump first. I am thinking it couldn't hurt to return the salute in a friendly fashion just to keep everyone agreeable before they sit down, rather than have people butt hurt from the get go. Before it is asked, yes I was active duty, and am currently still involved with in couple different aspects of the military.

U.S. Army equivalent. In the case of foreign dignitaries who are the equivalent of civilian officials of DOD and
military department officials (see b, above), "Hands Across the Sea" should be substituted for the 32–bar excerpt from
“The Stars and Stripes Forever.”
