The USMC was able to buy Harriers, I don't think a foreign supplier is out of the question.



The USMC Harriers were, however, built under license by a US aviation company. Ditto a bunch of other British-designed aircraft used by the USAF, such as the English Electric Canberra aka Martin B-57 Canberra:

(This traffic went in both directions: for example the British Army's AH-64D Apache Longbow gunships are built by Westland.)
