No, the United States Postal Service does not sell foreign postage. The reason is that postal policy specifically says that if you are mailing something from the United States to a different country, you must use US postage. Post offices will not process mail with foreign postage on it unless it is coming into the USA from a different country. So there is no reason for the USPS to sell foreign postage for this reason.
Answer: The USPS actually has to accept foreign postage from any country through which the mail piece is going to travel. This is guaranteed by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) agreement. The UPU is a UN agency that regulates the price of International postage. If you use foreign postage stamps when mailing something to the country that issued the mail, then your mail will be shipped there and the foreign country pays the USPS.
If your local post office rejects the mail piece with foreign postage, then you should let them know that such refusal is in violation of the UPU agreement and possibly other law between the Nations.
While I lived abroad, I have often seen British and German postage meters/stamps on letters from the IRS.
