The US actually requires that you pay taxes to the US based on your income in the foreign country unless they approve of you being exempt.
The first $120k is exempt, though, so unless you are bringing almost $1/4 million a year, the majority is not taxed.

There's also tax treaties that can make things more convoluted.
