The weaker € favors European exports (because European products are now cheaper on the US market). Conversely, US products are now more expensive for Europeans. In this context, normally I'd say that EU wins (they get to sell more, therefore produce more, therefore have more people employed), but the fact is that the US economy being weaker, there is less demand for EU (or any) products.
