The New York Times held a two-hour interview with Trump just after the shooting unfolded, with reporters discussing an array of topics including Venezuela and Greenland, as well as the Minneapolis shooting.
The administration has defended the shooting, with Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saying Good was in the midst of carrying out an "act of domestic terrorism" targeting federal law enforcement officers.
Good was operating a vehicle at the time of her death. Agents ordered her to exit the vehicle, which she refused and "attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle," according to Noem.
The shooting has led to an outpouring of condemnation and concern among Democrat lawmakers and critics of the Trump administration who have called the shooting a "murder," while some protesters have also taken to the streets of Minnesota.
Trump called on an aide to bring in a laptop to run footage of the scene to the reporters as they asked about his view that Good attempted to run over the officers. The shooting unfolded on a snow-lined residential street in Minneapolis.
"That was a vicious situation that took place," Trump said.
