The USA has, since Soyuz:

The Soyuz was the primary Soviet spacecraft used for manned flight since
its introduction in 1967. The docking module was designed and
constructed by NASA to serve as an airlock and transfer corridor between
the two craft.
During nearly two days of joint activities, the mission’s two Soviet cosmonauts and three U.S. astronauts carried out five joint experiments
and exchanged commemorative items.
The successful Apollo-Soyuz Test Project paved the way for future
international partnerships.

Two days after a rare last-second launch abort, a Russian Soyuz
spacecraft blasted off Saturday on a flight to the International Space
Station, carrying two short-duration crew members and a NASA astronaut
bound for a six-month tour of duty.
Soyuz MS-25/71S commander Oleg Novitskiy, Belarus guest cosmonaut Marina Vasilevskaya and NASA veteran Tracy Dyson thundered away from the
Baikonur Cosmodrome at 8:36 a.m. EDT (5:36 p.m. local time) and slipped
into orbit eight minutes and 45 seconds later.
