U.S. Constitution. Article 2 Section 2 Clause 2.
"He [the President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make make Treaties ... [and] appoint Ambassadors..."
This sounds too much like a question for a school assignment, so I will leave it at that and not name the branch. It should be fairly obvious anyway when it is given that the clause is part of Article 2, not to mention that it directly mentions the President.

http://homepage.gallaudet.edu/David.Penna/Trtymake.htm 1. Which entities have capacity to make Treaties? All sovereign states (countries) have the ability to make international treaties. What about sub-units of countries: can the State of Virginia or the City of Baltimore or Montgomery County make a treaty with France? -- International law does not exclude the possibility of such an agreement, but the constitutions of many states forbid such agreements. The United States Constitution, for example, says: No state shall, without the consent of Congress, ... enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power .... (US Const. Art. I, sec. 10, para. 3).This has been interpreted to mean that US states cannot make agreements affecting politics or security with foreign countries but they can make economic and cultural agreements.

If the states had the right to enter into treaties with other countries, there could be conflicting treaties with the same foreign country.

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.
