So Are US Governors Allowed To Do Foreign Policy?

Cancelling his intense truck safety inspections at the Texas/Mexico border…an originally purported move to stop smuggling of drugs and humans…Texas Governor Greg Abbot announced that he had negotiated safety agreements with four Mexican border states.

So, is an American governor actually allowed to negotiate foreign policy with foreign governments? OR is that a right reserved for the federal government?

btw: it was also announced that about a quarter of the trucks inspected had safety issues. But there has been NO mention of intercepting any smuggled goods of any kind. Six thousand trucks inspected…no smuggled goods.
