Congress has the power to regulate foreign trade or trade with Native Americans, as stated in the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8). This power is vested in the legislative branch, which consists of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The President does not have the authority to regulate trade without the approval of Congress.
Congress's expressed power to regulate trade is primarily derived from the Commerce Clause in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. This clause grants Congress the authority to regulate commerce "among the several states, with foreign nations, and among the Indian tribes." This power has been interpreted broadly, allowing Congress to legislate on a wide range of economic activities that affect trade.
The Constitution vested Congress with the authority to regulate trade with other nations, between the states, and with Native American Tribes in the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3).

regulate trade
Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government was a unicameral meaning it had only one house with one member from each state. To pass any legislation, 9 out of 13 members were needed. Congress could not levy taxes or even regulate trade among the states. They did not even had the power to draft soldiers. The Articles were drawn up during the war. Problems after the war could not be solved by the Articles. Not only Congress had limited power but the President had no power at all.
