Yeah... Trump isn't dictator of the world. The only way he can make peace in Ukraine without consulting Ukraine is to persuade Russia to withdraw. (Which, if he did, that would be great... but I'm not holding my breath.) Other than that, the most he can do is stop supplying Ukraine with US weapons and intel, and let Ukraine decide what to do in the new situation.
And, having the EU pay for reconstruction? The EU is not under Trump's orders. They may chose to help pay for Ukrainian reconstruction, if they choose to do so, but it won't be because Trump "had" them do so.
