As I understand the legal concepts of principal and agent, you aren't
thereby acting as an agent of that government;  and as I understand the
law of treason, such an act wouldn't constitute treason.

And what evidence is there that those goods and services have not been
penetrated by a foreign government, including of course the US government?
