Coca-Cola Co. on Tuesday said it plans to launch a new Coke product this fall made with U.S. cane sugar. Why it matters: The move is a response to President Trump 's statement last week that the company would use sugar, rather than high-fructose corn syrup, in its sodas.

The beverage giant has not officially confirmed a recipe change. However, in a Truth Social post on July 16, Trump claimed the company has agreed to use “REAL cane sugar” in its U.S.-sold Coca-Cola drinks.
