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.

May tells MPs to put national interest first on Brexit
British Prime Minister Theresa May has told MPs that it is their duty to vote to leave the European Union, following the public referendum of 2016.
At a session of Prime Minister's Question Time in the House of Commons, the British leader told lawmakers they had to "put the national interest first" when deciding whether to approve a Brexit deal in a vote likely to take place later in the year.
It comes as negotiations continue in Brussels on a final Brexit deal despite the European Union rejecting May's so-called Chequers plan at a recent summit in Salzburg.
The Chequers deal is also unpopular within her Conservative party and Theresa May is under pressure to change course ahead of a crucial EU leaders meeting next week, however she told the House she working to agree a deal which they must support.
