It's wholly dependent on the geopolitics involved, if we're talking about the USA, it can go in a few different ways, one the US throwing considerable resources behind select factions who are willing to negotiate with them, two siding with human groups/governments which aren't actively hostile towards the US and its interests in the Drowtales world and getting support from some Drow.
Or acting like a third party and being rather indifferent all around, while throwing support here and there in the pursuit of its aims in the Drowtale world, which may involve backing factions in reach of US installations.
Of course this is just a theory, since the US have that retarded as hell policy of throwing support behind organisations which actively display hostility for the sake of conflict and keeping military interest involved for gain, e.g. Syria with the rebels, actual extremists being posed as non-extremists. This might work as well since the US may have the only portal and access, information is restricted and no one can lodge a formal investigation or complaint.
On the other hand, hearts and minds would be a big focus, dealing with people who are going to be interacting with you for a long time might seem problematic to deal with if they're pissed at you constantly. So the US would reapproach the situation to garner support from Drow groups, and justify the intervention that way in accussing the Clans for being oppressive jackasses.
But for the sake of avoiding drawing this into the open with international politics and I know a few people who'd love to try and burn my ass over such things. I'd think I'll stick with a country that doesn't actively serve as a magnet for controversy or bad decision making. Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Finland, or maybe Japan, since that's where the Gate series began.
I can't rightfully say how any of these other countries would handle, South Korea might be a good start since it's got a giant standing army, but backed by the US, not the best since it'll inevitably involve America. Maybe Australia or Japan, they'd be more flexible in situations, but Japan doesn't have a big track record for military operations, besides providing aid in most situations.
Socially I'm also wondering what kind of domestic policy would be adapted for interaction with Drow, I mean we're talking about a foreign race of beings tall and black, with pointy ears and can use magic, to peaople this would be a very odd addition to any country.
