President Trump has a famous affinity for Diet Coke, which uses aspartame, a low-calorie artificial sweetener. He has reinstalled a button on the Oval Office desk that alerts White House staff when he wants a fresh can of Diet Coke.

Coca-Cola typically sweetens its signature drink with corn syrup for the United States market and uses cane sugar in Mexico and some European countries, selling the cane sugar beverage as the imported "Mexican Coke" in the U.S. The U.S. cane sugar option will be added to the company's existing U.S. product line.

None of the changes involved an enforcement or regulatory action. Rather Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr, his secretary of health and human services, have cajoled, convinced or cornered these companies into signing up to their “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.

Coca-Cola is releasing a new soda with an endorsement from US President Donald Trump. Coca-Cola confirmed it will release a new soda made with cane sugar. It comes after a social media post from Trump where he claimed he persuaded Coca-Cola to replace high-fructose corn syrup.

While the diet version appears to be Trump's drink of choice he has reportedly been in discussions with Coca-Cola to change one ingredient in the original Coca-Cola recipe in the US

The Coca-Cola company has drawn ire from social media users after caving to President Donald Trump's demands to change the ingredients of their iconic drink.
