Coca-Cola's response was posted under a Fox News report of Trump's annoucement on X, formerly Twitter, which said: "President Donald Trump celebrates a new win for the 'MAHA' movement as Coca-Cola announces it's switching from artificial flavoring to real cane sugar—earning the president's praise as the popular drink gets a classic makeover."

President Trump said on Wednesday that he had spoken to the Coca-Cola Company about using “REAL cane sugar in Coke” in the United States and that the company had agreed to begin adding it. A spokeswoman for Coca-Cola would not comment on whether it had agreed to do so.
