Congress has proven itself impudent, while a liberal president steers the country to the left, a conservative president would have steered the country to the right, what nobody expected was Trump dismantling the government so aggressively. The "united" states is disappearing under Trump. Now it's up to state government to govern according to the predominant political wishes of their state. That now will include individual international trade agreements that benefit each state. I guess no different than England disassociating itself from the EU. Could it be a blessing in disguise?
The states' authority to strike agreements with foreign governments is limited by the Contracts Clause, Article 1 Section 10. Of course, the Constitution could be amended but changes to this section seem unlikely.
Ah, yes - that's the problem with having a supposed "businessman" as president. He's unable to look at anything in larger rational terms, beyond profit and self-serving winning. The idea of a greater good never crosses his mind - as we can see from his limited private life.

How does that limit states from entering into an agreement with a foreign business?

An agreement to do exactly what? I find this discussion to be long on airy platitudes and short on details, so please provide a specific outline of what such an agreement might look like and how it would replace the Paris agreement being discussed here. Thanks.
Liberals are effing idiots. The department of Energy has already published some papers on saving the planet. Wanna save the planet? Turn off your effing lights and televisions and eliminate vampire power draw and we meet the intent of the Paris Agreement.

Nah. Too simple. Better tax somebody.
Republicans are effin idiots. They lack zero vision and can't possibly comprehend that one doesn't have to give up a modern standard of living in order to reduce emissions. Instead they throw out a bunch of half assed assumptions in order to play "gotcha".
