No. The constitution gives that power to the federal government. Trade deals must be enforceable and when the usa was under the articles of confederation, states could place tariffs on each other and ignore foreign treaties since no one could enforce them. The us constitution was specifically designed to have a central government that works and can negotitate deals for the whole country.

Moonbeam got the okay from. Eric Holderman.
Article I Section 10
The financial experts in California will not let California spend more then perhaps 1000X conceivable state assets and income.
Arrest him when he gets back. The rule of law and all that.
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation ...

More likely he signed for The People’s Republic of California.
When are we going to eject California from the union.
It’s clearly an unconstitutional action. I don’t remember the specific article, but I seem to remember something along the lines of the states not being able to enter into compacts with foreign powers.
Well, that’s a relief!
Yea, I just signed an agreement with the Kardassians for all the diamonds on the planet Uranus. Guvna Moonbean has nothing on me. bwaahaaa
China always keeps its promises.
Almost. Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution provides that they can only do it with the consent of Congress. Gov. Moonbeam has deliberately ignored it, even though he's sworn to uphold the Constitution and the CA constitution requires him to do so.
In case they try to argue this wasn’t a treaty, and thus absolutely barred to states, the next paragraph, last sentence says states shall not enter “any agreement or compact” ... with any foreign power without consent of Congress or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay. So either the world will end in a week without this or they have to ask Congress and get permission even if it isn’t a treaty. Even the 9th circus can’t save this.
