If China gets involved in Iran, will complicate matters: US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said ⁠on Friday that ⁠the United States ‌is ​trying to have a stable relationship with ​China, but if ⁠Beijing is going to be involved with ⁠Iran ‌in a way that ‌goes against US ⁠interests, that would complicate matters.

In ‌an ‌interview on CNBC, ‌Greer said ‌he expected President Donald Trump to have ⁠a ⁠good meeting next month with Chinese President Xi Jinping but not ​every challenge with ​China is resolved.

The trip comes ⁠just a year after Washington rolled out sweeping and at times erratic global tariffs.

"The underlying ⁠goals of our economies are so different. But there's a way where we can have some ⁠economic ‌stability. If China is going to be involved in Iran in ‌a way that's harmful to US interests, ⁠then that obviously complicates it, and that's China's responsibility to ‌eliminate that," Greer ‌said.

"I think the thing to remember with China is, although we're trying very hard ​to have stability with China, particularly ​in trade and ​economics, not every challenge with them is ​resolved," Greer added.

On Friday, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi met North Korean leader ‌Kim Jong Un, emphasising that both the countries should further enhance communication and coordination in major international and regional ⁠affairs.

Wang's trip comes as Trump is expected to visit China next month. Trump has ​previously shown interest in resuming talks with ​North Korea's Kim.
