In my country you also require a valid reason for doing so, you can’t just randomly sack someone
In the US you can be fired at any time for any reason (or no reason), including “I’m having a bad day and I don’t like you.” Randomly sacking people is Trump’s thing, he had a show about it and everything.
The federal government actually does have protections for people who are not in the probationary period, which is why they only fired people in the probationary period, because if they tried to fire tenured employees they’d have a much bigger fight. But that probationary period can last from 1 to 2 years, and also kicks in again for anyone who starts in a new position.
