Where does the tariff money go?

The money from tariffs, paid by American companies, goes to the U.S. Department of Treasury and enters the general affairs budget, said Felix Tintelnot, an associate professor of economics at Duke University in North Carolina. From there, it can be used “essentially for anything.”
