This dispute can be solved addressing the Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1, which states the following:
"The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States;--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects."
It addresses the problem by defining who will preside the dispute and establish where the involved parties must file their cases. With this being settled, the resolution to the dispute falls into Judicial Power.
Generally speaking, this exercising of the government's authority is called their "prerogative", since they can deem that this is necessary and "proper" in order to protect the US.
