No, the states may not make treaties with foreign countries. Under Article II, Section 2the president is given the power to make treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate. Since the Constitution expressly gives treaty powers to the president and since the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, the states are pre-empted from treating with foreign countries.
Foreign policy (including the enforcement of borders from a state in the union to a foreign country) is only and solely a federal issue. The above poster has it right, if a state wishes for new foreign policy, it must seek it through federal means, at which point it is out of the state's hands.
