About halfway through, the documentary shows Trump and Kim in a room with members of Kim\u2019s delegation at the Capella Singapore hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2018\/06\/14\/trumps-halt-of-war-games-could-weaken-defenses-in-korea\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18165201054441.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Trump\u2019s halt of \u2018war games\u2019 could weaken defenses in Korea<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to suspend major U.S. military exercises in South Korea could weaken allied defenses, depending on the length and scope of the hiatus. But the potential for diplomatic damage seems even greater.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Trump encounters North Korean Gen. No Kwang Chol, he extends his hand. No responds unexpectedly with a salute, which Trump reciprocates before shaking No\u2019s hand and continuing to greet the next North Korean delegate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The salute has spurred outrage among those who believe it is inappropriate for a president to salute any foreign military officer, let alone a top general from one of the most oppressive regimes on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others have defended Trump\u2019s salute, claiming it was nothing more than a courteous response to No\u2019s gesture of respect.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump is known to salute military members in uniform, including the Singapore military officials he encountered during the summit. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in this case, critics are concerned Trump fell right into the hand of North Korean propagandists, who have promoted the footage as a means of legitimizing their regime on the world stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"
