"Amid signs that special counsel Robert Mueller will soon complete his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, President Trump says he looks forward to seeing the report and that it should be made public.
Answering questions from reporters on the South Lawn of the White House prior to traveling to Ohio Wednesday, Trump said of Muller's report, "let it come out. Let people see it, that's up to the attorney general." NPR

Well, he has to say that the AG is in charge. The Democrats are waiting for an opportunity to accuse Trump of suppressing the report or parts of t. Having watched Barr testify I would say that he will not take orders from Trump in this matter if it is clear that Trump wishes to suppress evidence.
On the other hand if Trump chooses to direct a somewhat reluctant Barr to de-classify it all, including US classified information IMO he will be entirely within his legal power to do so and should do so. So far as I can understand the Russiagate collusion and conspiracy fraud would be exposed by such exposure to the light of public knowledge.
Indictments for conspiracy to commit sedition might result? Good!
Foreign intelligence relations may be damaged because of their cooperation in this fraud? So what! Everyone involved in this fraud should pay a high price for their duplicity. pl
