Unless the US Government specifically allows for a US airline to have a US codeshare on a given international route with a given foreign airline, the US airline isn't allowed by the USG to codeshare. And the USG has various reasons why it may delay or deny US airlines' codeshare requests or why it may even revoke codeshare allowances previously granted.
