No. Dong so may cause adverse consequence if and when one of the two parties move. It is your property and therefore your responsibility to fence your own yard. You can share the fence and the costs. You would each pay half. Also, depending on the laws where the property is located. If your neighbor puts a fence on your property and not on the property line (a few feet inside on your property) they could end up owning those few feet after several years. Adverse possession.

Can neighbor use fence on your property?
If a neighbor wanted to install a fence the fence has to be on the neighbors property entirely. Not half the fence on your side and half on the neighbors side. There are also zoning regulations that deal with issues like this. Some counties will not allow a fence to be over five feet tall and they have to be constructed using only approved materials. I know that in my neighborhood metal fences are against code and they can only be constructed using fence block. If I were you I would call the city planning office and ask them, they will have a definitive answer. Who knows, maybe the fence was put up without the proper permits and your neighbor has to take the entire thing down.

Can a neighbor refuse to allow their existing fence to be joined by a new one on the adjacent property?
Yes, they can refuse. The fence is their property, so you must have permission to join their fence to yours. If not, you can build to the edge of your property line, leaving a gap between the two.

You are asking if you have the right to ask your neighbor to move his fence back from the common property line. Fence lines and set backs are governed by local ordinances.

There is no setback rule.You need to start at your town building department and ask if there is any setback rule in effect in your town. You should find your answer there.
