 Medvedev and Putin did not mention these figures  instead citing bilateral trade with China worth over 55 billion dollars in 2008.
 China and Russia also agreed to boost the use of their domestic currencies in trade  Medvedev added  as Moscow seeks to lessen the global dominance of the US dollar.
 "Another very important task -- which today has become very timely -- is the question of using national currencies in mutual payments " he said. "We agreed to take additional measures in this direction."

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hillary Clinton ? Former secretary of  state Hillary Clinton  speaks to and meets voters in Allendale  Mich.  on Nov. 7  2016. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post)
How do you write a primal scream? Because my head is about to explode over the story about alleged sexual harassment on  Hillary Clintonâs  2008 presidential campaign and  her  appallingly mild response  then and now.
To recap  while we were still reeling from the report that President Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III last summer  the New York Times posted this: âHillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008.â
According to the Timesâ Maggie Haberman and Amy Chozick  Burns Strider   Clintonâs  faith adviser â yes  faith adviser  you canât make this stuff up â was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young woman with whom he shared a campaign office. The Times: â She  told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed  her  shoulders inappropriately  kissed  her  on the forehead and sent  her  a string of suggestive emails.â
The campaignâs response? Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle recommended that Strider be fired. So did Jess OâConnell  the national director of operations  who handled the investigation. And  Clinton  herself? Not so much  apparently. The young woman  not identified in the story  was moved to a different job. Strider â then married  by the way â was âdocked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling.â Which  predictably  he never attended.
And  even more predictably  when he was hired years later to oversee an independent group backing  Clintonâs  second presidential campaign  âHe was fired after several months for workplace issues  including allegations that he harassed a young female aide  according to three people close to Correct the Recordâs management.â
This is head-exploding stuff  but thereâs worse to come. Because now â now  after Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo and Roy Moore â this was Hillary Clintonâs belated response  in its bland totality: âA story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred  but was heartened the young woman came forward  was heard  and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.â
And classically  infuriatingly  this episode and its aftermath exposes  once again  the trademark Clinton failure to take personal responsibility; the allergy to owning up to error; the refusal to cede any ground  no less apologize; the incessant double-standarding  with different  more forgiving rules for the Clintons and their loyalists. Imagine a Hillary Clinton who said something like this:
Imagine that Hillary Clinton. She doesnât exist.
answer:
Negative


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has struck a deal to be interviewed by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs team rather than appearing before a grand jury  CNN reported on Wednesday  citing sources close to  Bannon .
 Bannon  had been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Muellerâs probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and any ties with President Donald Trumpâs campaign  according to a person familiar with the matter.
A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment on the CNN report. A lawyer who represented  Bannon  in an appearance before the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday could not be immediately reached.
An interview with prosecutors would allow  Bannon  to have an attorney present during  his  appearance  as lawyers are not permitted in grand jury rooms.
 Bannon  was a close adviser during Trumpâs campaign and in  his  first months in office  but  he  was fired from  his  White House job in August as the president sought to bring more order to his staff operations.
Earlier this month  Trump attacked  Bannon  for comments  he  made to Michael Wolff  the author of a book highly critical of the president and his family. They included scathing remarks about Donald Trump Jr.  the presidentâs eldest son  for meeting during the campaign with a Russian lawyer who was said to have damaging information on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
 Mueller  is investigating allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 campaign to try to tip the vote in Trumpâs favor  as well as any potential collusion by Trumpâs campaign with Moscow.
According to a person familiar with the arrangement  the attorney who represented  Bannon  for Tuesdayâs House appearance  William Burck  is not representing him in connection with Muellerâs investigation. The person did not believe  Bannon  had hired a counsel for that yet.
answer:

Neutral
