Chile distances from Milei remarks on Strait of Magellan sovereignty

Chilean Interior Minister Claudio Alvarado declined to comment on Argentine President Javier Milei's statements during his visit to Chile, which touched on sovereignty over the Strait of Magellan and the country's position regarding the Falkland Islands. The remarks, made in a bilateral meeting with Chilean presidential candidate José Antonio Kast, signal potential friction in bilateral relations. The Chilean government's refusal to engage suggests it seeks to avoid escalating a sensitive territorial issue.
