JAKARTA - The meeting between Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and former US President Donald Trump in Egypt on Monday left an unexpected moment. In the recording that was heard through the microphone that was still on, Prabowo was heard asking Trump to bring him together with his son, Eric Trump. This incident later went viral on social media and was also raised by several international media such as Reuters, The Guardian.
The moment came after Trump addressed the summit discussing the situation of Gaza in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh. In the video circulating, the two seem to be chatting casually without realizing that the microphone near them is still active and recording the private conversation.
'Can I meet Eric?' Prabowo asked Trump while standing behind the podium. Trump replied, 'I'll call Eric. He's a good kid. I'll ask Eric to call you.'
Prabowo replied, "Eric or Don Jr.,". This may refer to Trump's two sons who both serve as executive vice president of the Trump Organization.
The conversation led to a lot of speculation. It was not clear whether Prabowo and Trump talked about business matters, investment, or anything else involving the Trump Organization 'conglomeration of Trump's family engaged in real estate, hospitality and blockchain-based projects.
According to the company's official website, as quoted by Reuters, the Trump Organization has a golf club outside Jakarta, while other projects in Bali are still listed as "coming soon".
