Except Trump doesn't have that kind of power.
The president has the power to not send more money to Ukraine. Trump will call Zelenskyy and say “we won’t be supporting you anymore, go negotiate”. The US has by far been the biggest donor to Ukraine so Ukraine would be in a tough position without that support. Worst case Ukraine tries to hold out but without US support Russia will mop them up, which is what Russia has been waiting for.
He can only do that if there is anyone else in the government that wants to do that. Otherwise he can probably be convinced not to.
