Mic catches Indonesian president asking Trump for unusual introduction

A hot mic captured a candid exchange between President Donald Trump and the president of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, where the latter made an unusual request to meet with Trump's second oldest son, Eric. 

The conversation took place at the Gaza Summit in Egypt on Monday, which was led by Trump as he invited world leaders to discuss his plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas and conclude the first phase of the cease-fire agreement. 

A microphone captured bits and pieces of a conversation between Subianto and Trump, where the Indonesian president appeared to begin by saying: 'It's in a region and not safe, secure.'

Trump's response is inaudible, and he starts to pull away, but the Indonesian president quickly says, 'can I meet Eric?'

The American president then stops and says something else inaudible, but the microphone manages to catch the end of his sentence as he says, 'remember that?' 

Trump then calls his son, 'such a good boy,' and seems to agree to set up a meeting between Subianto and Eric. 

The two presidents then continue to have a mostly inaudible conversation, but towards the end of their exchange, Trump can be heard calling Subianto 'fantastic.'

The last thing Trump says is: 'Thank you my friend, I like that you told me that. We don't need that.' 

Trump's businesses have had a lucrative relationship with Indonesia. The president made $14 million in income from his business interests in Indonesia between 2015 and 2019, according to an analysis of his tax returns by CREW. 

There are two Trump residences in Indonesia, located in Bali and Lido, West Java. 

There is also a Trump International Golf Club in Lido City, about an hour south of Jakarta, the country's capital. 

The seemingly positive interaction between Trump and Subianto was a small part of the Gaza Summit's huge diplomatic accomplishment, as the signed peace plan could be the first step in a lasting peace in the region which has been plagued by a devastating war between Israel and Hamas for the past two years. 

'This took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it? And it's going to hold up too. It's going to hold up,' Trump said while signing the peace plan. 

Other world leaders in attendance included Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, along with Gulf nation leaders in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Notably, leaders from Hamas and Israel were absent. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited by Trump but declined, citing a Jewish holiday as the reason for his absence. 

The peace plan was also signed by regional leaders, including Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. 

Although Trump's son, Eric, wasn't in the region and readily available for a meeting with the Indonesian president, another one of Trump's children, Ivanka, has been in Israel for the past few days.

The president's daughter was seen embracing her father when he arrived in Israel on Monday. 

Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner, was a key member in negotiating the peace deal, as he traveled with US Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, to Egypt to broker a ceasefire.

The couple received a standing ovation from Israeli politicians in the country's parliament on Monday. 

Ivanka had an active role in Trump's first term as president, but she no longer works for the White House under the current administration.
