"I can't tell you yet who will be representing France on this occasion, but France will certainly be there."
In an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" broadcast on Sunday, Trump said he believed the war would end soon and suggested Ukraine could emerge from a settlement with altered borders.
"I think we're going to have it done, and I think it's going to happen, and they're going to end up with a little bit different shape, Ukraine," Trump said.
Asked whether Russian President Vladimir Putin was stringing him along, Trump replied: "Oh, I don't think so."
On Thursday, Trump told reporters the war was close to being settled and ending; it might involve all of Europe.
On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump was probably alluding to progress on security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe, which had repeatedly figured in the Russia-Ukraine talks.
"What is the post-war security infrastructure of Ukraine and, more broadly, of the European continent going to look like?" Rubio told reporters.
"So I think that's what the president's alluding to, is that there have been some advances made in what that architecture could look like post-conflict," he added.
"Nothing's been finalised yet, and maybe some progress can be made in Abu Dhabi tomorrow when Jared (Kushner) and Steve (Witkoff) will be there."
Trump envoy Jared Kushner said US officials held "productive and substantive discussions" with Ukraine, NATO and European partners in Brussels on Thursday regarding security guarantees for Ukraine and a broader European security architecture.
