This week, Indonesia's leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a confidential discussion with American leader Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

Instead, a live microphone situation captured Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a meeting with his son Don Jr, both of whom serve as executives at the Trump organization.

It represented only one in a string of gaffes committed by world leaders thinking no one can hear them.

Below are five other memorable errors:

Organ Transplants and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing this September, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were overheard discussing organ replacement as a method for prolonging life.

"Human organs can be continuously replaced. The more you extend your life, the more youthful you get, and you can even reach eternal life," the Russian translator was heard saying.

Xi, who was off camera, answered in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in this century people may live to 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Ex-Australia immigration minister Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he joked about the plight of residents in the Pacific experiencing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was speaking to former PM Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from climate change talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

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

Dutton commented: "Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have the ocean reaching your home."

The comments provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the opposition Labor party called for Dutton to apologise.

'Prejudiced Voter'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he encountered a voter who challenged him on migration and the economic situation.

Remaining connected to a broadcast microphone when he entered the car, Brown was recorded stating: "That was a disaster – they should never have put me with that woman. Who thought of that? Ridiculous."

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

The scandal received extensive coverage for weeks and Brown went on to lose the election.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He Lies.'

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were picked up by a active recording device.

Sarkozy stated: "I cannot bear Netanyahu. He's a liar."

Per a account from a translator quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "You've had enough but I must work with him frequently than you."

'Total ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush occurred when he made a disparaging remark about a journalist from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate was unaware that a recording device was active when he turned to Dick Cheney at a political event and said, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

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