Recently, Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a private conversation with US President Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

However, a live microphone situation revealed Prabowo asking Trump to organize a meeting with his son Don Jr, who serve as executives at the Trump organization.

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

Below are several additional noteworthy errors:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

At a military parade in Beijing this September, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were overheard discussing organ replacement as a approach for prolonging life.

"Human organs can be repeatedly replaced. The longer you live, the younger you become, and you can even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was heard saying.

Xi, who was off camera, answered in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in the current era humans may reach 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

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

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

Observing how a migration discussion was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "We had a bit of that 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 called for Dutton to issue an apology.

'Prejudiced Voter'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he faced a voter who questioned him on immigration and the economic situation.

Still wired up to a broadcast microphone when he entered the car, Brown was heard saying: "That was a disaster – they should never have put me with that individual. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

This incident received extensive coverage for an extended period and Brown went on to lose the election.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He's a Liar.'

Former US president Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were picked up by a active recording device.

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

According to a account from a French interpreter cited by Reuters, Obama replied: "You've had enough but I must work with him frequently than you."

'Total ***hole'

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

The Republican presidential nominee was unaware that a recording device was active when he turned to Dick Cheney at a Labor Day rally and remarked, "That's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

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