U.S. President Donald Trump took another jab at Emmanuel Macron and the Paris climate agreement on Saturday, claiming that riots in the French capital were a sign the climate deal "wasn't working out so well for Paris."

"People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment," Trump tweeted Saturday, as thousands of Yellow Jackets protesters took to the streets in Paris and across France for the fourth weekend in a row.

The U.S president also claimed protesters were chanting "We want Trump!" Earlier this week, Trump also retweeted a claim by conservative activist Charlie Kirk that people had chanted pro-Trump slogans during protests in Paris. But CNN reported there was "no evidence" to suggest protesters had done so. An AFP fact-check found that the video used to back up Kirk's claim was shot in during a protest for the release of British far-right activist Tommy Robinson in the U.K.

The Yellow Jackets protests started as a backlash to a planned fuel-tax hike, which the French government has since abandoned. But they have morphed into a broader movement protesting against the French president, whom the Yellow Jackets accuse of ignoring the struggles of rural workers and others on low incomes. Close to 90,000 police forces have been mobilized to deal with Saturday's protests.

The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment. Chanting “We Want Trump!” Love France. — Donald J.

The tweet is Trump's second comment on the unrest caused by the Yellow Jackets protests in Paris. Earlier this week, the U.S. president incorrectly claimed in a tweet that Macron and French protesters had "finally agreed" that the Paris agreement was "fatally flawed."

In a separate tweet on Saturday, Trump also took aim at the Macron's call for a European army, saying the idea "didn't work out too well" in World War I or II and claiming the U.S. will "always" back Europe as long as it pays its "fair share of NATO."

Trump has repeatedly called for European countries to up their defense spending, singling out countries, such as Germany, that don't meet a NATO target of spending 2 percent of GDP on defense.

He also sparred with Macron on the issue last month, mocking France's role in World War II and calling the French president's plan "insulting."

The idea of a European Military didn’t work out too well in W.W. I or 2. But the U.S. was there for you, and always will be. All we ask is that you pay your fair share of NATO. Germany is paying 1% while the U.S. pays 4.3% of a much larger GDP - to protect Europe. Fairness! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 8 december 2018
