It's a bit more complicated. It's likely to hurt EU exporters through reduced sales or, if they reduce their prices to offset the tariff, reduced profits.
It'll hurt the US importers, wholesalers, retailers unless they can find local alternative supplies. It's a lose-lose situation (which is not to say that tariffs are always bad).
