President Obama today said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering rerouting the Dakota Access Pipeline, which is being built near the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s reservation in North Dakota.

“We’re monitoring this closely,” Obama said in an interview with Now This News. “My view is that there is a way for us to accommodate sacred lands of Native Americans. And I think that right now the Army Corps is examining whether there are ways to reroute this pipeline.”

“We’re going to let it play out for several more weeks and determine whether or not this can be resolved in a way that I think is properly attentive to the traditions of First Americans,” Obama said.
