A treaty is a formal agreement between two or more sovereign states, which is approved by the Senate. On the other hand, an executive agreement is a less formal arrangement between the United States and foreign nations, which does not require Senate approval. Executive agreements are used to deal with a wide range of issues, including trade relations, military cooperation, environmental protection, and cultural exchanges. Unlike treaties, executive agreements are not binding on future administrations, and they can be terminated by either party with little notice.
