The Constitution authorizes Congress to regulate trade:

  1. with foreign nations
  2. between states
  3. with "Indian Tribes" (Native American Nations)

These are among the expressed powers of Congress under the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3).

The Commerce Clause in the United States Constitution gives Congress powers over certain aspects of commerce. It has the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, among the states as well as the Indian tribes. Depending on the seated Supreme Court whenever this power is enacted, the effect can have significant variance.

Yes. International relations are one of the few things that the central government is set up to do. The power was granted as part of the "Interstate Commerce Clause," of the Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3):

Article I, Section 8

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;

(and so on)
