The State of Washington has three overseas offices in Asia. The state of California has trade offices in 10 nations and plans five more.
The United States Constitution provides that the president "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur" (Article II, section 2). Treaties are binding agreements between nations and become part of international law.
