Coca-Cola to release new drink made with U.S. cane sugar after Trump push

Following a push by U.S. President Donald Trump, Coca-Cola announced on Tuesday that it will introduce a new version of its flagship product in the U.S. this fall, sweetened with domestic sugar cane.

CEO James Quincey confirmed that to align with consumer demand, Coca-Cola will launch a U.S. cane sugar variant this fall, following Trump's appeal for "REAL Cane Sugar" instead of corn syrup.

The new product will complement the core recipe, rather than replacing the classic formulation.

Coca-Cola also reported robust second-quarter profits, beating estimates for quarterly results.

The company's comparable revenue beat estimates by increasing 2.5 percent in the 3 months up to June 27.
