TRUMP SAYS THAT COCA-COLA HAS AGREED TO USE REAL CANE SUGAR IN U.S COCA PRODUCT
BY OWOLABI OLUWADARA
President Trump announced Wednesday that Coca-Cola had agreed to begin using “real cane sugar” in Coke made in the United States. 🇺🇸
The company, however, neither confirmed nor denied the claim, saying only that more details on “innovative offerings” would be shared soon.
Coca-Cola has used a blend of corn syrup and sugar since 1980 to offset rising sugar costs. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has criticized corn syrup as a contributor to obesity, though it remains unclear if Coca-Cola plans to eliminate it entirely.

The company already sells cane sugar–sweetened Mexican Coke and Kosher-for-Passover Coke, both of which have dedicated followings in the U.S.
Trump’s statement sparked speculation about a broader return to traditional sweeteners for the iconic soda, but no official confirmation or timeline has been provided by the company or the White House.
