U.S. President Donald Trump disputed the accuracy of a New York Times report that the China’s spies eavesdrop on calls he makes on unsecured iPhones after Beijing dismissed the story as “fake news."

"The so-called experts on Trump over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cellphone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it," Trump said Thursday morning in a Twitter postingBloomberg Terminal. "I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone. Story is soooo wrong!"
