00:00Coca-Cola will not roll out cane sugar Coke in us after Trump pushes soft drink giant Coca-Cola
00:07says it plans to introduce a new Coke sweetened with cane sugar to its existing lineup,
00:12confirming a plan that President Donald Trump previewed last week. The company already uses
00:17regular sugar to sweeten its signature Coke drink in many parts of the world, but in the us it has
00:22typically used corn syrup, a lower-cost alternative. For decades, Trump's health secretary Robert F.
00:28Kennedy Jr. has voiced concern about the corn syrup's health risks, though experts say there are no clear
00:33nutritional reasons to favor one sweetener over the other. This will be a very good move by them
00:38you'll see. It's just better, Trump wrote on social media last week.In its quarterly update to investors
00:44on Tuesday, the firm confirmed it would launch an offering made with us cane sugar in autumn.
00:49The company said the new product would complement its existing lineup, offering more choices to
00:55customers. We are definitely looking to use the whole tool, kit of available sweetening options
01:00to some extent where there are consumer preferences, said boss James Quincy when asked about the decision.
01:05He noted that the firm already used cane sugar. In several brands in the us, including lemonade,
01:11coffee and vitamin water, Trump surprised many when he announced on Truth Social last week that the
01:16company had agreed to use real cane sugar. The us president had previously raised the issue with
01:21the company's boss in January. According to a recent book, 2024, How Trump Retook the White House.
01:28The book reported that he put billionaire sugar farmer Jose Fangio, a major political donor,
01:33on the phone to discuss the matter. Trump touted the move on social media last week. Writing,
01:38I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using real cane sugar in Coke in the United States,
01:43and they have agreed to do so. At the time, a Coca-Cola spokesperson had said they appreciate
01:49President Trump's enthusiasm, a product marketed in the us as Mexican Coke, which is sold in glass
01:54bottles at a higher price, also lists traditional sugar, not corn syrup, as a sweetener and has
02:01gained a devoted following since its launch in 2005.
