Trump says Coca-Cola agrees to switch back to real cane sugar in Coke
"I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so," Trump said on Truth Social.
"We appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon," said a brief statement by Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola adopted high-fructose corn syrup in the 1980s in a cost-cutting effort. It was reported that the change in ingredients would reduce the shelf life of Coke and increase manufacturing costs.
The use of sweeteners such as high-fructose corn syrup has been criticized by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Currently, Coca-Cola offers a cane sugar version of its soda known as "Mexican Coke" in the United States.

Sensex tumbles 400 points: Why is the stock market falling today?
Benchmark stock market indices fell sharply in early trade on Tuesday as investor sentiment soured following renewed tariff threats from US President Donald Trump, who warned of penalties over India's continued oil imports from Tapse, Senior Vice President (Research) at Mehta Equities, had indicated that the markets may continue to see a 'subdued to weak opening' amid the lacklustre trend in Gift Nifty. advertisementWhile gains in other Asian indices could offer some support, Tapse warned that 'nervousness may persist' after Trump's fresh threat to hike tariffs on India. He noted that Nifty bulls are likely to remain hesitant below the 25,000 mark, and a close below 24,473 could deepen downside risks. It may be noted that investor anxiety intensified after Trump threatened to substantially increase tariffs on Indian goods in retaliation for India's ongoing crude oil purchases from Russia, part of a larger geopolitical flashpoint that now threatens trade VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, called the threat a 'big risk' to India-US trade relations. If implemented, he warned, such tariffs could have a cascading impact on India's exports to the US—particularly in sectors like textiles, pharmaceuticals, and engineering—and in turn drag down GDP growth and corporate earnings in FY26.'The market, still trading at elevated valuations, has not discounted such an eventuality,' Vijayakumar said. He added that India's strong response—calling the move 'unjustified and unreasonable'—indicates the government is unlikely to yield.'In the near term, markets are in uncharted territory and could react sharply if Nifty breaks its support at 24,500,' he said, advising investors to consider a partial shift to fixed-income assets as a geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty dominating the narrative, analysts expect volatility to remain elevated throughout the week.(Disclaimer: The views, opinions, recommendations, and suggestions expressed by experts/brokerages in this article are their own and do not reflect the views of the India Today Group.

India's reply to Trump shook America!
videoDetails India's reply to Trump shook America! Yashwant Bhaskar | Updated: Aug 05, 2025, 10:30 AM IST India's response to Trump's threat shook the entire America! When US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 'more tariffs' on India on Monday, India responded late night by naming America. Donald Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social, "India does not care how many people are being killed in Ukraine by Russia's war machine. Therefore, I am going to increase the tariff on India." In response, India has called Trump's threat 'unfair and irrational'. The Indian Foreign Ministry said that 'America still imports uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for the electric vehicle industry, fertilizers and chemicals from Russia.'
