A hot mic at the Gaza-focused summit in Egypt’s Sharm al-Sheikh on Monday captured Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto asking US President Donald Trump if he could meet with Trump’s son Eric, an executive vice president of the Trump Organization.
Trump and Prabowo, who were also seen on video, appeared to be unaware that a live microphone was recording their conversation.
The two spoke after Trump delivered remarks to a group of world leaders gathered for the summit, which followed the announcement of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
It was not clear in the audio whether the two were referencing the Trump Organization or any business deals involving the president or his family.
The hot mic conversation’s video, now going viral online, showed the two leaders stood behind a podium with a microphone. The Indonesian President could be heard referring to a region that is “not safe, security-wise" and then asks his counterpart: “Can I meet Eric?"
Trump responds: “I’ll have Eric call. Should I do that? He’s such a good boy. I’ll have Eric call."
Prabowo then mentions the name “Hary" in a comment and says “we’ll look for a better place".
🚨OH MY GOD: Trump and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto have just been caught on a hot mic discussing a deal (?) (he asks to speak with Trump's sons Eric and Don Jr – who do NOT work in government). Did we just hear a major crime happen?

Trump says again: “I’ll have Eric call you."
Prabowo says: “Eric or Don Jr.
Eric Trump and his brother Donald Trump Jr. both serve as executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, which has business operations involving real estate, hospitality and blockchain-based ventures.
However, it remains unclear who Prabowo was referring to when he mentioned “Hary".
Trump Organization’s Indonesian business partner, MNC Group’s founder and executive chairman is Hary Tanoesoedibjo, a long-time business partner of the Trump Organization, who attended the US president’s inauguration this year.
The group’s property unit MNC Land operates an integrated resort in partnership with the Trump Organization about 60 km (37 miles) south of Jakarta.
In February, the environment ministry ordered MNC Land to halt development of the project over water management and environmental issues, according to a report by news outlet Reuters.
The Trump Organization and MNC Land are also developing a luxury resort and a golf club in Tabanan, on the Indonesian island of Bali. The project is listed on the Trump Organization’s website as “coming soon". Both projects have faced significant delays.
