    Chile Reaffirms Sovereignty Over Strait of Magellan Amid Argentine Dispute

    Chilean President José Antonio Kast has repeatedly asserted his country's sovereignty over the Strait of Magellan, dismissing recent claims by Argentine officials. The controversy escalated after Argentina's Air Force chief declared the strait under Argentine sovereignty, leading Chile to insist on its control. Kast has visited the strait to publicly reaffirm Chilean sovereignty and has refused to demand the repeal of a 2021 Argentine decree that mentions 'joint control' of the strait, stating that international treaties already establish Chile's sovereignty.

    New Jersey Asks Supreme Court to Settle Kalshi Sports Betting Fight

    New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve a dispute over whether prediction markets like Kalshi can offer sports wagers without adhering to state gambling laws. The state argues that conflicting federal appeals court rulings on the matter have created a circuit split, with the 3rd Circuit ruling in favor of Kalshi and the 9th Circuit reaching the opposite conclusion. New Jersey contends that Kalshi's interpretation of federal law could effectively federalize the multibillion-dollar sports-betting industry and displace state gambling laws nationwide.
