Are US governors allowed to maintain their own foreign policy and relations, without control of the president or federal government?

I'm a little confused about what states in US are. Are they more like their own countries united in alliance, or are they districts of one country?

While I’m not a political scholar to understand the limits of their power, their leaders can certainly express their own stances.

And like most things in the US, some states have more money, power, and influence than others. It’s complicated.
- legally no, but it's not like the governor of colorado is sending ukraine weapons - they're just words and as such do not violate the constitution. ianal, etc etc
