US-China relations may become more complex if Beijing’s ties with Iran harm US interests, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said. While noting stable relations, he warned against closer China-Iran links amid Middle East tensions. President Donald Trump has threatened 50% tariffs on countries arming Tehran, which could disrupt the fragile US-China trade truce. Though China does not directly supply weapons, it provides dual-use technology. Greer said any harmful involvement would complicate ties and urged Beijing to address the issue.
