If Ghidra is made by NSA, does it mean that it can have backdoors for non-US users?

The code is open source and has been looked at by several people over the years. It would be quite hard for the NSA to sneak in a backdoor but it is never out of the question. However, the risk is so extremely minuscule when compared to other alternatives since they are not even open source.
