WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said Tehran was a tough negotiator as talks continued for a nuclear deal, and said he discussed Iran among other topics with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

"We're doing a lot of work on Iran right now," Trump said at an economic event at the White House. "It's tough ... They're great negotiators."
