South Korea's presidential office said President Donald Trump only meant actions would be approved after consent on both sides.

This week, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa suggested Seoul would ease a set of sanctions against North Korea to encourage leader Kim Jong-un to give up his nuclear weapons.

Kang was referring to sanctions South Korea put in place against the North in 2010 after the sinking of a South Korean warship. Forty-six sailors were killed.

Kang later backtracked on her comments. And the foreign ministry denied there's an ongoing review about lifting the sanctions.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in favors closer ties with Pyongyang. But he has also promised to back international sanctions that largely target trade with North Korea.
