Coca-Cola will launch Coke with U.S. cane sugar after Trump push

The Coca-Cola Co. said Tuesday that it will launch a version of its signature drink made with American cane sugar.

The Coca-Cola Co. said Tuesday that it will launch a version of its signature drink made with American 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.

"As part of its ongoing innovation agenda, this fall in the United States, the company plans to launch an offering made with U.S. cane sugar to expand its Trademark Coca-Cola product range," its news release said.
