Recently, 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 hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo asking Trump to organize a meeting with his son Eric, who hold positions at the Trump organization.

It represented only one in a string of gaffes committed by international figures thinking they're off the record.

Below are several additional noteworthy blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

During a defense ceremony in Beijing this September, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded discussing organ replacement as a method for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be continuously replaced. The longer you live, the younger you become, and it's possible to even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

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

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he joked about the plight of people in the Pacific facing rising sea levels.

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

Observing how a migration discussion was running on "Cape York time", Abbott responded: "There was a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door."

The comments provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the opposition Labor party demanded 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.

Still wired up to a broadcast microphone when he entered the car, Brown was recorded stating: "That went terribly – they should never have put me with that individual. Whose idea was that? Ridiculous."

Asked what she had said, he replied: "All topics, she was just a bigoted woman."

The scandal dominated headlines for an extended period and Brown ultimately lost the political race.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He Lies.'

Former US president Barack Obama was in conversation at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were captured 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 responded: "You're fed up with him but I have to deal with him frequently than you."

'Major League ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from former White House hopeful George W. Bush happened as he made a disparaging remark about a reporter 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 political event and said, "That's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

Cheney answered: "Oh yeah, he is, big time."
