NSA is infamous for its involvement in stealing trade secrets and generally cooperating clandestinely to for example ensure US company wins the bid. And the competition is often supposed US allies.

It also rather infamously claimed it never partakes in industrial espionage, despite it being somewhat well documented in 1990s that they do.

Generally, if the contract is big enough, and specially if the companies involved have military/intelligence ties otherwise as well (every bigger MIC corp), you can expect ITC, NSA, CIA and occasionally FBI and others to all be involved in unethical work related to getting the contract won by US vendor.

This was my point. They don't steal trade secrets in order to harm US companies.
