Trump Reportedly Arranged Meeting Between Indonesian President and Son Eric
Former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly offered to facilitate a meeting between Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and his son, Eric Trump, according to audio captured during a recent gathering at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
The exchange occurred yesterday, October 14, 2025, and was overheard by individuals present at the event. According to the recording, President Subianto inquired about the possibility of meeting with Trump’s sons. Trump responded, “I’ll have Eric call him,” indicating he would arrange a direct communication between Eric Trump and the Indonesian president. This comes as Prabowo Subianto is currently serving as Indonesia’s Minister of Defence and is a prominent political figure in the region.
The incident highlights the ongoing connections between the former U.S. President and international leaders, even after leaving office. The recording also captured snippets of conversation regarding potential business ventures, though details remain sparse.

This development could raise questions about potential conflicts of interest, given Eric Trump’s involvement in the Trump Organization and the family’s various business dealings. The White House has not yet commented on the matter, and representatives for both Trump and Subianto have not responded to requests for further information. Recent legal challenges facing Donald Trump have kept him in the public eye.
Officials stated they are reviewing the recordings and will provide further comment as appropriate.
