Reports

The validity of some additions made to the Reports section should be valid. Similar to the existing section on China's Economic Aggression, the potential economic impact of US Reciprocal Trade Act is sourced directly from the White House website (as is the China report) and is not about "Administration Talking Points", it was a neutral description of the report. There is also no secondary source to quote as the only other published version of the report is from the Wall Street Journal, who do not go over the report but instead simply re-publish a PDF version. As per the Defense Industrial Base Report, it too directly sourced from the DOD because there is no secondary source analysis (again because all I added was a neutral description with some background detail). To dismiss the additions as "Self-Sourced Rubbish" is inaccurate and wholly unfair to the validity of this page, which is not up to date without them. Lucididy (talk) 23:39, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

If there's no secondary sources at all that discuss this material, I question the weight altogether. Neutralitytalk 23:40, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
