What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ? BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) - On the eve of his trip to Europe  Rex Tillerson gave a speech last week that European allies had waited months to hear: an âironcladâ promise of U.S. support to its oldest allies.

The question is whether European officials believe him  given tensions during his April visit to Europe  when Reuters reported  Tillerson  initially planned to skip a NATO meeting in Brussels and then only attended under pressure from allies.
âIf there were expectations that  Tillerson  might evolve into a counterweight to Trump  someone who could pass on messages from partners and exert moderating influence over American foreign policy â those expectations have been disappointed â said Niels Annen  foreign policy spokesman for Germanyâs Social Democrats in parliament.
The French have gone around  Tillerson  to develop contacts with U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis  White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly  while the EUâs top diplomat Federica Mogherini has gone directly to Vice President Mike Pence.
One European diplomat said  Tillerson  was in a difficult position from the outset because the Trump administration was hostile to Iran and brought in a team of generals who took a hard line  âso it never left  Tillerson  much room.â

Positive

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mikal Bridges ? Villanova guard  Mikal Bridges  reacts after blocking a shot during the second half Tuesday. (Julie Jacobson/Associated Press)
NEW YORK —  Mikal Bridges  was not even a top 80 recruit coming out of  his  suburban Philadelphia high school in 2014. In the one-and-done era of college basketball   he  was the opposite when  he  arrived at Villanova that summer and was forced to redshirt  his  freshman season because  he  simply wasn’t ready. When  he  was finally prepared to play as a relatively unknown reserve on the Wildcats’ national championship team the following season   his  older teammates chided  him  for  his  finesse tendencies in the lane.  He  preferred layups over powerful dunks.

More people stood after the sequence  and a large group of fans started chanting “Mi-kal Bri-dges” briefly at one end of the arena. It ended after a few seconds  but what  Bridges  did Tuesday night — scoring a career-high 28 points to go along with six rebounds and two blocks — will likely reverberate across college basketball for some time. ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said on the game’s telecast that  Bridges  had made a “case for first-team all-American.” On Twitter  former Villanova guard Josh Hart claimed his former teammate would be a first-round pick  and some even boldly projected that  Bridges  would be drafted ahead of Michigan State star Miles Bridges.
That wave of noise didn’t seem to faze the soft-spoken Mikal Bridges as he took the podium afterward  where he said all the right things and told the story about the older veterans in the program who have challenged him to attack more over the years. One of the primary concerns for Villanova entering the season was finding a replacement for the graduated Hart and Kris Jenkins  who were pillars in the program for four seasons. Villanova has another experienced star in 6-2 junior point guard Jalen Brunson  who finished with 12 points Tuesday  as well as redshirt junior Phil Booth  a Baltimore product who scored 20 points on 9-for-14 shooting as Gonzaga turned in one of its worst defensive performances of the past two years.

Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim Jong Un ? SEOUL (Reuters) - The light-grey suit and matching tie that  North Korea’s Kim Jong Un  donned for  his  New Year’s address was likely carefully calculated to project a softer  more relaxed image to go with  his  surprise offer for talks with Seoul.
Departing from  his  usual black or navy suits  Kim gave  his  televised speech wearing black-rimmed glasses and slicked back hair  speaking fluently and rarely looking down to read as  he  raised the possibility of sending a delegation to the upcoming Winter Olympics in South Korea.
“In this New Year’s address  North Korea seems to have taken great pains with the image portrayed by Kim Jong Un ” said an analysis by the state-run Korea Institute for National Unification after  Kim ’s speech.
“The change from the previous dark Maoist suits to a softer toned grey Western-style suit likely aimed to underpin peace  which  Kim  stressed in  his  address ” the institute said.
It added that  Kim ’s style “reflected a relaxed state of mind” that likely resulted from  his  previous announcement that North Korea had achieved its nuclear ambitions.
After a year dominated by fiery rhetoric and escalating tensions over Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons programme   Kim  declared Monday that  his  country was “a peace-loving and responsible nuclear power” and called for lowering military tensions and improving ties with the South.
 Kim  also said  he  was open to dialogue with Seoul  prompting South Korea on Tuesday to propose high-level talks between the two countries on Jan. 9 at the border truce village of Panmunjeom.

Analysts said the North Korean leader’s speech on Monday showed more confidence compared to previous years  his old habit of swaying from side to side while making speeches nearly undetectable. In his first New Year’s address as North Korea’s leader in 2013   Kim  frequently sounded short of breath  his voice wavering from time to time.
 Kim  made  his  maiden public address in April 15  2012 at a parade marking the centenary of  his  grandfather’s birth. This year  there was none of the uneasiness that marked that speech and  his  subsequent public addresses.
 His  voice   his  hair shaved on the side  as well as  his  light-colored Western-style suit and glasses  were also reminiscent of  his  grandfather  Kim Il Sung  according to defectors and analysts. Kim Il Sung had a more gregarious and popular image than  Kim Jong Un’s  reclusive father  Kim Jong Il.
 Kim Jong Un  has embraced New Year addresses as a chance to outline  his  policies and rally the North Korean people. Last year   he  used  his  speech to declare that North Korea was in the “final stages” of perfecting an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Kim Gun-hee  a consultant on image making and leadership  said the grey suit may have been designed to deflect some of the negative global attention  Kim ’s nuclear and missile tests have prompted.
“When we advise clients who are in tough situations or are surrounded by unfavourable rumours  we tell them to wear either white or grey ”  she  said.
“In the study of color psychology  white imbues innocence while grey tends to take attention away from you.  Kim  may have felt some pressure from being at the centre of global focus and turned to grey after sticking to dark tones for several years.”

Positive
