The vast majority of the F-35 construction is actually done inside the US, and that’s required for security requirements for things like this.
Now a bunch of countries (Canada, UK, Netherlands, and some others) did contribute to the development of the F-35 but I want to say it was only around ~10% of the total cost. And that also went towards the purchase price of their first block of airframes.
