Phone won't connect to Mac

When I try to connect my iPhone XS Max to my MacBook Air it keep connecting and disconnected rapidly.

The "trust this computer" option comes up but disappears again before I can click anything and the phone flickers between charging and not charging very quickly.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?
