President Donald Trump denied that Iran has economic leverage over the United States as the two nations continue to negotiate a broader deal to end Tehran’s nuclear ambitions for good.

The president said that Iran was not in a position to wield such leverage and accused the press of lending Tehran favorable coverage throughout the conflict.
