Recently, Indonesia's President 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 serve as executives at the family business.

It represented only one in a series of missteps made by world leaders thinking no one can hear them.

Below are several additional noteworthy errors:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

During a defense ceremony in Beijing this September, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were recorded discussing organ replacement 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 off camera, answered in Chinese: "Some predict that in this century humans may live to 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Ex-Australia immigration minister Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he made light about the plight of people in the Pacific experiencing rising sea levels.

Dutton was conversing with then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had just returned from climate change talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

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

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

The comments sparked outrage from regional nations and environmentalists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to apologise.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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

Still wired up to a Sky news microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was recorded stating: "That went terribly – they should not have placed me with that woman. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

This incident received extensive coverage for weeks and Brown ultimately lost the election.

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

Former US president Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

Sarkozy said: "I can't stand Netanyahu. He's a liar."

Per a version from a translator cited by Reuters, Obama responded: "You're fed up with him but I must work with him frequently than you."

'Major League ***hole'

A vintage hot-mic moment from then US presidential candidate 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 recording device was active when he leaned over to Dick Cheney at a political event and remarked, "That's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

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