The Short Answer
It is actually against the law for the US or companies of the US to sell a WHOLE range of things without very special permission, and for some countries, the answer is often no–like China–and always no for some – North Korea. This is why espionage and spying on technology is such a high stakes activity. Like here: _URL_0_ We also do not share everything, as a rule. Nobody else has the stealth bomber (some of these things are just so complicated and expensive, a nation couldn't build one) and in the meantime, the US continues to invent the next model even as the current model is getting launched. The US doesn't sell to unstable countries and usually what they get is something we've already left behind and can easily take out.
