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 Jared Kushner ? Senior White House aide Jared Kushner -- who is President Donald Trump's son-in-law -- met this month with special counsel Robert Muellerâs investigators  Fox News has confirmed via a source with direct knowledge of the meeting.
Investigators questioned  Kushner  about a meeting  he  had with an unnamed Russian ambassador and former national security adviser Michael Flynn  the New York Times reported. The Associated Press also reported about the meeting  citing an anonymous source.

 Kushner  was previously accused by leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee of not being fully forthcoming in its Russia probe.
In response   Kushner 's lawyer Abbe Lowell said in a statement that his client encouraged members of the Trump campaign to decline meetings with foreigners.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Reid Hoffman ? Billionaire LinkedIn founder and Greylock investor  Reid Hoffman  believes that successful people need to hone the skill of "unlearning."
In his journey to becoming one of Silicon Valley's most influential entrepreneurs and investors   LinkedIn cofounder and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman  has seen the full scale of success  failure  and everything in between.
 He 's both observed and mentored founders like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg from  their  professional infancy into the heads of world-changing companies.  He 's personally dabbled in managing  investing  teaching  and even political organizing.
 His  career has taught  him  there's a danger all successful people face   he  explained on a recent episode of  his  podcast "Masters of Scale."
"People tend to take pleasure in their mastery of a given field "  he  said. "They go  'I've learned this  and now this is what will differentiate me from other people for all time.'"
 He  continued: "One of the things that I tell people is that success imprints more strongly than failure. And it does so because as you've succeeded  it's like  I've learned this tool. And so  this tool must be right. And so  I just keep applying it  and even as the train comes off the tracks  because part of what happens is  you know  markets change  competitors change  industries change. You change."
