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

However, a live microphone situation revealed Prabowo asking Trump to arrange a meeting with his son Eric, both of whom serve as executives at the Trump organization.

It represented only one in a series of gaffes made by international figures when they assume they're off the record.

Here are several additional noteworthy errors:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

At a military parade in Beijing in early autumn, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were overheard talking about organ transplants as a approach for prolonging life.

"Vital organs can be continuously replaced. The more you extend your life, the more youthful you get, and you can even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was not visible, responded in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in this century people may live to 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Former Australian immigration minister Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he joked about the situation of residents in the Pacific experiencing ocean encroachment.

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

Observing how a migration discussion was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "We had a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

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

These remarks sparked outrage from regional nations and environmentalists, while the opposition Labor party called for Dutton to apologise.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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 broadcast microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was recorded stating: "That went terribly – they should not have placed me with that woman. Who thought of that? Ridiculous."

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

This incident received extensive coverage for an extended period and Brown ultimately lost the political race.

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

Former US president Barack Obama was in discussion at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

Sarkozy said: "I cannot bear Netanyahu. He deceives."

According to a version from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama responded: "You're fed up with him but I must work with him more often than you."

'Major League ***hole'

A vintage recording incident from former White House hopeful George W. Bush happened as he made a disparaging remark about a reporter from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate was unaware that a microphone was live when he turned to Dick Cheney at a political event and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

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