Do we have the following?

Suppose the following integrals \begin{equation} \int_t^T X_s \, ds\ \text{ and }\ \int_t^T Y_s \, ds \end{equation} are well-defined, where $X_s$ and $Y_s$ are continuous stochastic process. Do we have $$E\left[\int_t^T X_s \,ds \times \int_t^T Y_s \, ds\right]=\int_t^T E[X_sY_s] \, ds$$ in general?

Note that \begin{align*} \int_t^T X_s\, ds \int_t^T Y_s \,ds = \int_t^T\int_t^T X_s Y_u \,ds \,du. \end{align*} Then, by assuming the Fubini, \begin{align*} E\left(\int_t^T X_s\, ds \int_t^T Y_s\, ds\right) = \int_t^T\int_t^T E\left( X_s Y_u\right)\, ds \,du, \end{align*} which is generally not equal to $\int_t^T E( X_s Y_s) \,ds$.
