Hot Mic Captures Prabowo Asking Trump to Meet Eric Trump as President Says “I’ll Have Eric Call”

The lack of clarification on whether business was discussed has sharpened scrutiny of the family’s corporate ties in Indonesia.

Overview

  • Video and audio from Sharm el-Sheikh recorded Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto asking, “Can I meet Eric?” moments after President Trump addressed a Gaza-focused summit.
  • Trump replied, “I’ll have Eric call,” adding, “He’s such a good boy,” and Prabowo followed by saying, “Eric or Don Jr.”
  • The leaders appeared unaware the microphone was live as they spoke behind the podium following remarks tied to a newly announced Gaza ceasefire.
  • Reporters noted the audio does not make clear whether the conversation referenced the Trump Organization or any business dealings.
  • The White House and the Indonesian Embassy did not immediately comment, while the Trump Organization lists a Jakarta-area golf club and a planned Bali resort, and Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. serve as executive vice presidents.
