Donald Trump is firing back at media outlets for what he said was a misrepresentation of his comments on the national debt.

In a telephone interview with CNN's "New Day," Trump said he doesn't intend to to go out to creditors and renegotiate the debt.

"So here's the story, just to have it corrected. If we have an opportunity where interest rates go up and you can buy debt back at a discount, I always like to be able to do that, if you can do it, but that's all I was talking about," the presumptive nominee said.
