President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Ukraine should not target Moscow with strikes, after the Financial Times reported that Trump on 4 July had privately encouraged Ukraine to escalate attacks on Russia.
Citing anonymous sources, the outlet said Trump also asked if Ukraine could do so if the US provided the country long-range weapons.
But this week, the Republican president said the US was "not looking to do that".
In his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump was "merely asking a question, not encouraging further killing", the White House told the BBC in a statement.
