US soft drink giant Coca-Cola says it plans to introduce a new Coke sweetened with cane sugar to its existing line-up , confirming a plan that President Donald Trump previewed last week, BBC reported.

The company already uses regular sugar to sweeten its signature Coke drink in many parts of the world, but in the US it has typically used corn syrup, a lower cost alternative, for decades. 

Trump's Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has voiced concern about the corn syrup's health risks, though experts say there are no clear nutritional reasons to favour one sweetener over the other. 

"This will be a very good move by them - You'll see. It's just better!" Trump wrote on social media last week, according to BBC.
