Actually, president’s can’t “veto” treaties: perhaps you meant “disapprove” instead of “veto”.

Well, yes, he can withhold his signature from the treaty, and he can decline to present it to the Senate, I think.

He can also simply refuse to negotiate it in the first place, and instruct the Foreign Service to give it no countenance.
