According to BBC News, President Obama has offered Sudan incentives for working to "improve the situation on the ground and to advance peace" in Sudan.
In a later statement, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the US was still focused on addressing the effects of "genocide" in Sudan, a term the Sudanese government has said is "unfortunate".
Senior presidential advisor Ghazi Salaheddin said that the use of the word "genocide to describe Darfur was "unfortunate" and "does not reflect the realities in Darfur."
Since 2003, the UN estimates that 300,000 people have been killed in Darfur.
However he did comment that the US's new proposal for diplomacy in Sudan has many good points and is not as radical as plans they have seen in the past.
Yet the US has stressed that it does not plan to deal directly with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.
