I have a different viewpoint. Trump likes to paint himself as a businessman who is a master of a deal and delivers. All these sudden moves with tariffs etc., even if they make no sense, show that he is active and "doing something", including fulfilling some promises he made during the elections. Now, one of the major promises was that he would end the war in Ukraine. The problem is, this is a very heavy issue and can't be solved just because he wants. Russia is not interested in the slightest in stopping the war, and for sure they don't want to show they were stopped by an American president. So Trump's only chance to deliver is to push on Ukrainians to surrender. And this is what he is currently doing, day by day. Once he breaks them, he will be able to say "I introduced peace". Neither Ukraine nor the EU wants this because the capitulation of Ukraine would only mean giving Putin more time to stock up supplies and attack again later (he doesn't need a good reason for that).
