This week, Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a private conversation with US President Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

However, a live microphone situation captured Prabowo asking Trump to arrange a call with his son Eric, who serve as executives at the family business.

This was just one in a series of gaffes committed by world leaders when they assume they're off the record.

Below are five other noteworthy errors:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

During a defense ceremony in Beijing in early autumn, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded talking about organ transplants as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and you can even achieve immortality," Putin's interpreter was recorded stating.

Xi, who was not visible, answered in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in the current era people may reach 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he joked about the situation of people in the Pacific facing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was conversing with then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from environmental talks with Pacific Island leaders in Port Moresby.

Noting that a meeting about refugees was running on "Cape York time", Abbott responded: "We had a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have water lapping at your door."

These remarks provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

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

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was recorded stating: "That was a disaster – they should never have put me with that woman. Who thought of that? Ridiculous."

Asked what she had said, he answered: "All topics, she was just a prejudiced person."

The scandal dominated headlines for an extended period and Brown went on to lose the political race.

'I Can't Stand Netanyahu. He Lies.'

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in conversation 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 French interpreter cited by Reuters, Obama replied: "You're fed up with him but I have to deal with him more often than you."

'Total ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from former White House hopeful George W. Bush happened as he made a disparaging remark about a journalist from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate 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 answered: "Oh yeah, he is, big time."
