Clinton: Greece has not asked US for economic aid

The United States says Greece is not looking for any specific help from Washington in solving its financial crisis.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking to reporters after meeting with Papandreou, voiced support for Greece’s tough economic reforms and said that “neither the prime minister nor Greece has asked the United States for anything.”
“What I think Greece is looking for… is that the United States, working in the G20, will make some of the changes in regulatory regimes governing some of these financial instruments that have been used to the detriment not only of Greece but of other countries, including our own.”
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.
