In a surprising exchange, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto expressed interest in meeting Eric Trump, the son of former U.S. President Donald Trump. This interaction occurred during a Gaza-focused summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on October 13, 2025. The conversation was unintentionally captured by a live microphone after Trump concluded his address to the assembly of world leaders.
Context of the Summit
The summit focused on the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and featured discussions on a ceasefire agreement. Trump’s remarks were centered around a broader U.S.-brokered deal involving a prisoner-hostage swap between Israel and Hamas.
Details of the Conversation
While at the event, President Prabowo approached Trump, referring to a region that he described as “not safe, security-wise.” He inquired if he could meet with Eric Trump. In response, Trump enthusiastically affirmed, stating, “I’ll have Eric call. Should I do that? He’s such a good boy.”
As the dialogue continued, Prabowo suggested a need to find a “better place” for the meeting, to which Trump replied, “I’ll have Eric call you.” Prabowo also indicated a willingness to meet with Donald Trump Jr., who holds a similar position in the Trump Organization as an executive vice president.
The Trump Organization’s Involvement
The Trump Organization is involved in various business sectors, including real estate and hospitality. Notably, it operates a golf club near Jakarta, Indonesia. Additionally, another golf club and resort in Bali is expected to open soon.
