Blunders From World Leaders When They Think No One Is Listening

Recently, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a confidential discussion with American leader Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

Instead, a hot-mic incident captured Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a call with his son Eric, who serve as executives at the Trump organization.

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

Below are five other noteworthy blunders:

Organ Transplants and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing in early autumn, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were overheard discussing organ transplants as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Vital organs can be repeatedly replaced. The longer you live, the more youthful you get, and you can even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

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

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Ex-Australia immigration minister Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he joked about the plight of residents in the Pacific experiencing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was speaking to former PM Tony Abbott, who had just returned from environmental talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

Noting that a migration discussion was running on "Cape York time", Abbott responded: "We had a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have the ocean reaching your home."

These remarks sparked outrage from regional nations and environmentalists, while the opposition Labor party called for Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was campaigning in 2010, he encountered a constituent who questioned him on migration and the economy.

Still wired up to a Sky news microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was heard saying: "That was a disaster – they should not have placed me with that individual. Who thought of that? Absurd."

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

This incident dominated headlines for an extended period and Brown went on to lose 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 France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were picked up by a active recording device.

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

According to a version from a translator cited by Reuters, Obama replied: "You're fed up with him but I must work with him more often than you."

'Major League ***hole'

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

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