This week, Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a private conversation with US President 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 Don Jr, both of whom serve as executives at the Trump organization.

This was just one in a string of missteps committed by world leaders thinking they're off the record.

Here are several additional noteworthy blunders:

Organ Transplants and Everlasting Life

During a defense ceremony in Beijing this September, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were overheard talking about organ transplants as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be repeatedly replaced. The longer you live, the younger you become, and it's possible to even reach eternal life," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was not visible, answered in Chinese: "Some predict that in this century people may live to 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Former Australian border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he joked about the plight of residents in the Pacific facing 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.

Noting that a migration discussion was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott responded: "There was a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have the ocean reaching your home."

These remarks provoked anger from regional nations and climate activists, 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 constituent who questioned him on migration and the economic situation.

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he entered the car, Brown was recorded stating: "That was a disaster – they should not have placed me with that woman. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

The scandal received extensive coverage for weeks and Brown went on to lose the political race.

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

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in discussion 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 captured by a active recording device.

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

Per a version from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "You've had enough but I must work with him more often than you."

'Total ***hole'

A vintage recording incident from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush happened as he made a negative comment about a reporter from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate was didn't realize that a microphone was live when he turned to Dick Cheney at a Labor Day rally and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

Cheney answered: "Oh yeah, he is, definitely."
