Actually, President Trump returned the salute to a foreign officer. It was awkward, but to not return the salute would have been an insult. Ignoring the salute could have put an end to further negotiations. As for obama's latte salute.... well, he probably just forgot he had it in his hands and when faced with the Marine saluting him.... well he did what he could....Many saw that as an insult to the Military in general, but to be honest there was no policy regarding saluting the guards until Regan and after that point, Presidents have made every attempt to return the salutes.....but, had obama not saluted it would have been an issue...salute with the cup was an issue..... A no win situation.

Penny Lynn is correct. The Korean Gen saluted Trump; he returned it. Saluting is a courtesy. When I was in Nav Trng at Harlengen, we all had to salute those other officers who wore wings...even if we outranked them. Believe those who have served know what I'm referring to. Those that have not...not so much....
