WASHINGTON, April 10 (Reuters) - U.S. 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 U.S. 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.
