Coca-Cola dodges after Trump says soda will switch back to cane sugar

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Coca-Cola in the United States will begin to be made with cane sugar, but the company did not explicitly say that was the case when it was asked later about Trump’s claim.

Trump said Wednesday afternoon on Truth Social that he had been speaking to Coca-Cola about using cane sugar in the sodas sold in the United States and that the company agreed to his idea.

"This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!" Trump wrote in the post.

But Coca-Cola did not commit to the change when NBC News asked it later about Trump's post.

"We appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand," a company spokesperson said in a statement. "More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon."
