According to HHS "
Low or no-cost COVID-19 tests are available to everyone in the U.S., including the uninsured, at health centers and select pharmacies nationwide." CVS provides no cost tests in 45 states https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/covid-19-testing
Those free tests are only available for US citizens, residents, etc...
A foreigner solely visiting the US would be unable to take those tests.
In addition, the turnaround times for those tests could be long as 2 or 3 business days which might not meet the criteria of the destination country, if someone is flying from the US to another country as those tests are mostly for those who feel unwell or those who need to take a test because of contact tracing rather than travel purposes.
