Sec. Scott Bessent: “We will be taking about $100 billion in tariff income thus far this year, and that’s with the major tariffs not having started until the second quarter — so we could expect that that could be well over $300 billion by the end of the year.”

Switzerland’s medical products authority has granted the first approval for a malaria medicine designed for small infants, touted as an advance against a disease that takes hundreds of thousands of lives — nearly all in Africa — each year. Swissmedic gave a green light Tuesday for the medicine from Basel-based pharmaceutical company Novartis for treatment of babies with body weights between 2 and 5 kilograms (nearly 4½ to 11 pounds), which could pave the way for hard-hit African nations to follow suit in coming months. The agency said that the decision is significant in part because it’s only the third time it has approved a treatment under a fast-track authorization process, in coordination with the World Health Organization, to help developing countries access needed treatment.

United Airlines will resume flights to Israel later this month, becoming the first American airline to restore service to Tel Aviv since the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Iran. United plans to restart daily nonstop flights from its Newark Liberty International Airport hub on July 21, with two daily flights set to begin the following day. Flights were available for booking Tuesday on United’s website, with round-trip economy fares starting at under $1,150. United suspended all service to Israel on June 13 following the closure of Israeli airspace in response to Iranian missile attacks. At the time, the airline had said it would postpone its planned August 1 return due to ongoing regional instability. The newly announced July 21 relaunch marks a major shift in that timeline.

The State Department is warning U.S. diplomats of attempts to impersonate Secretary of State Marco Rubio and possibly other officials using technology driven by artificial intelligence, according to two senior officials and a cable sent last week to all embassies and consulates. The warning came after the department discovered that an impostor posing as Rubio had attempted to reach out to at least three foreign ministers, a U.S. senator and a governor, according to the July 3 cable, which was first reported by The Washington Post. The recipients of the scam messages, which were sent by text, Signal and voice mail, were not identified in the cable, a copy of which was shared with The Associated Press.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants Tuesday for the Taliban’s supreme leader and the head of Afghanistan’s Supreme Court on charges of persecuting women and girls since seizing power nearly four years ago. The warrants also accuse the leaders of persecuting “other persons non-conforming with the Taliban’s policy on gender, gender identity or expression; and on political grounds against persons perceived as ‘allies of girls and women.’” The warrants were issued against Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhunzada and the head of the Supreme Court, Abdul Hakim Haqqani.
