This week, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a confidential discussion with US President Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

Instead, a hot-mic incident captured Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a meeting with his son Don Jr, both of whom serve as executives at the family business.

It represented only one in a string of gaffes made by international figures thinking no one can hear them.

Here are several additional noteworthy blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing this September, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded discussing organ transplants as a approach for prolonging life.

"Vital organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The longer you live, the more youthful you get, and it's possible to even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was off camera, answered in Chinese: "Some predict that in the current era people may reach 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Former Australian border protection chief Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he made light about the plight of people in the Pacific experiencing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was speaking to then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had just returned from climate change talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

Noting that a migration discussion was running on "Cape York time", Abbott replied: "There was a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have the ocean reaching your home."

These remarks provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the opposition Labor party demanded Dutton to apologise.

'Bigoted Woman'

As Labour prime minister Gordon Brown was campaigning in 2010, he faced a voter who questioned him on immigration and the economic situation.

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he entered the car, Brown was heard saying: "That went terribly – they should never have put me with that individual. Who thought of that? Absurd."

When questioned about she had said, he replied: "All topics, she was just a bigoted woman."

This incident dominated headlines for weeks and Brown ultimately lost the political race.

'I Can't Stand Netanyahu. He's a Liar.'

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in conversation at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

Sarkozy said: "I can't stand Netanyahu. He deceives."

Per a version from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama responded: "You're fed up with him but I have to deal with him frequently than you."

'Total ***hole'

A vintage hot-mic moment from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush happened as he made a negative comment about a journalist from The New York Times.

The Republican presidential nominee was didn't realize that a recording device was active when he leaned over to Dick Cheney at a political event and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

Cheney responded: "Absolutely, that's true, big time."
