The United States says Greece is not looking for any specific help from Washington in solving its financial crisis.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke Monday after she discussed the crisis with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou.
Papandreou says Greece is exploring ways within the European Union of improving Greece's borrowing prospects.
Clinton said: "Neither the prime minister nor Greece has asked the United States for anything."
But both officials said they discussed the need for major economies to implement financial reform and clamp down on speculators. Greece blames speculators for exasperating Greece's financial problems and benefiting from a decline in the euro.
