The president can make a treaty if he gets an agreement from who?
Yes, the president can make foreign agreements through executive agreements. These agreements do not require Senate approval like treaties do, but they are still binding and carry the same legal weight as long as they fall within the president's constitutional authority.
make an executive agreement instead
A President can make an executive agreement at anytime with another foreign "Chief of State" (leader). However, the agreement is only honored as long as the US President who made it, is in office. Once he leaves, the agreement ends.
The president can make executive agreements with foreign heads of state that do not carry the status of treaty and so avoid Senate confirmation.
In April of 1941, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt made an executive agreement with the Danish minister to have US troops occupy Greenland. As this was a move to strengthen the Western Hemisphere Congress had no objections.
Jefferson had concerns that a U.S. president did not have the constitutional authority to make such a deal. He alsoo thought that to do so would erode state rights by increasing federal executive power.

The Iran Nuclear Agreement was an executive agreement because Obama chose to name it an executive agreement. There is nothing in the Agreement that makes it an executive agreement as opposed to a treaty, but Obama was well aware that a treaty requires two-thirds approval by the Senate and he could not count on two-thirds of Senators approving the agreement. As a result, he chose to make it an executive agreement, which only needs an up or down vote from half of the senators.
As early as 1817, the executive agreement became an instrument of major foreign policy acts. US President James Monroe arranged with Great Britain how naval forces of both nations would deal with operations on the Great Lakes. Monroe's agreement with Great Britain was based on an Act in 1815, authorizing the president to handle affairs between the two countries regarding the Great lakes. Monroe then took this executive privilege to make this agreement without specific authorization from Congress.
