Is it legal for a state to negotiate such a deal with a foreign power? I thought that was constitutionally reserved to the national government.

A state can enter into a compact with a foreign nation but it requires congressional consent. Of course with the Democrats soon to run Congress, its a given they'll let it go into effect.

I thought that was constitutionally reserved to the national government.It is illegal and this is not the first time California has done this. It is also illegal for states to sign agreements with Indian tribes but it also happens.

Depends on the definition of foreign power, I guess - Manitoba is a province, NOT a country.
