NBC News reports:
The Coca-Cola Company said Tuesday that it will launch a version of its signature drink made with U.S. cane sugar. The announcement comes days after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he had “been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so.”
Initially, Coca-Cola did not confirm the news. The company told NBC News last week that it appreciated Trump’s “enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand” but that “details…will be shared soon.”
The company said in its earnings release Tuesday morning that a version of the drink with cane sugar was indeed coming later this year. Tuesday’s statement makes clear Coke will launch a new product, rather than a full replacement of the ingredient in its existing line.
Read the full article. The new version is expected to be more costly to produce, but it’s not yet known if that will affect its retail price. Imported so-called Mexican Coke is already available in some US stores. Last week corn farmers warned Trump that a full change in the product would devastate their industry.

Yikes — Nebraska corn farmers produce 17% of the nations corn syrup, so a switch in @CocaCola to cane sugar promoted by @realDonaldTrump could cost them millions in sales, says @JournalStarNews https://t.co/Y4uCOqBQBy

“I have been speaking to @CocaCola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!” –President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com/9L27oxlYUj
