PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shahid Khaqan Abbasi ? ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -  Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi  on Monday said  his  government will push ahead with plans to seize control of charities run by an Islamist designated a terrorist by Washington  and warned the United States not to weaken Pakistan.
 Abbasi  brushed off U.S. President Donald Trumpâs recent tweet accusing Pakistan of âlies and deceptionâ in its commitment to fighting terrorism  as  he  raised the prospect of charging the United States to use Pakistanâs airspace to resupply NATO troops in Afghanistan.
 Abbasi  said Pakistan had made progress in curbing terrorist financing after meetings with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)  an international body that warned Islamabad could be put on a watchlist for not doing enough to stop the practice.

âWeâve had several meetings on that  and from what Iâve seen a large part of those actions have been taken â  Abbasi  said.
 Former petroleum minister Abbasi  said any sanctions against Pakistan would be counter-productive to the countryâs own battle against Islamist militants  which  he  called âthe largest war on terror in the worldâ.
âAny constraints put on Pakistan  actually only serve to degrade our capability to fight the war against terror â  he  said.
 Abbasi  said Trumpâs tweet was âunacceptableâ in its tone and that Pakistan should not be âscapegoatedâ for U.S. failures in Afghanistan.
âThat is something ... we cannot accept because nobodyâs suffered more than Pakistan â  Abbasi  said  adding that tens of thousands of Pakistani have died from militancy that has inflicted damage worth $120 billion to the economy.
 Abbasi  said much of the suspended aid was from the Coalition Support Fund (CSF)  a U.S. Defence Department program to reimburse allies for the costs of supporting counter-terrorist and counter-insurgency operations.
 He  said the U.S. needed to respect Pakistanâs contribution to the fight against Islamist militancy and raised the prospect of charging Washington for air transport flights that have been resupplying U.S.-led troops and Afghan forces in landlocked Afghanistan.
âIf somebody wants to start quantifying expenses and aid  I think letâs put this on the table also. Letâs discuss that â  Abbasi  said  though  he  added that such talk was âhypotheticalâ.
 Abbasi  dismissed media reports that Islamabad has ended intelligence sharing with the U.S. military as false.
And  he  also spoke fondly about a brief discussion  he  had with Trump in September at a reception at the U.N General Assembly in New York.
âI found  him  to be fairly warm â  he  said. âSomebody that you would like to engage with and talk to.â

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Serena Williams ?

Serena Williams  is scheduled to play Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan on Thursday night in Indian Wells  Calif.  in the first round of the BNP Paribas Open   her  first WTA tournament since the birth of  her  daughter.
 Williams   36  has not played a tour event since winning the Australian Open on Jan. 28  2017  when  she  was about two months pregnant.  She  gave birth to  her  daughter  Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.  on Sept. 1  and then spent six weeks in bed because of serious complications from childbirth.  She  did not resume practicing until December.
 Williams  officially returned to professional tennis on Feb. 11 by playing a Fed Cup doubles match with  her  sister Venus against the Netherlands. They were beaten  6-2  6-3  by Lesley Kerkhove and Demi Schuurs after the United States had already clinched the victory in the first-round matchup.
 Williams  looked rusty at that event  as  she  did in an exhibition against Jelena Ostapenko in late December.  Williams  also played in the Tie Break Tens exhibition at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
After more than a year away from the tour   Williams  has no official ranking. If  she  defeats the 53rd-ranked Diyas   she  would face No. 29 seed Kiki Bertens in the second round  with  her  sister Venus a possible third-round opponent.
In an interview with WTATennis.com   Williams ’s coach  Patrick Mouratoglou  said: “The plan is to get back to  her  best level.  She  has been practicing hard for that  and competition is part of the process.  She  needs more than anything to compete and that is why  she  will plan to play Indian Wells and Miami.
“We do not know how much time  she  will need to get  her  best level back  and I think that we should give  her  the necessary time for that without having too much expectations at the start.”
He added that  her  target was to win Grand Slam titles and that he expected Williams to be back to  her  best by the French Open in May.
The Indian Wells tournament also marks the return of Victoria Azarenka.  She  has not played a tour event since Wimbledon last July.  She  has decided not to play outside of California  where  she  lives  until a custody dispute over  her  son  Leo  is resolved. Azarenka  now ranked 204th  will face Heather Watson in the first round  and with a win  would play 13th-seeded Sloane Stephens in the second round.
