Photographer: Angus Mordant/BloombergPresident Donald Trump pushed Coca-Cola Co. to make Coke using US cane sugar. The problem is, the soda maker can’t get its hands on enough sugar or production capacity to roll it out widely.
In an interview with Bloomberg News Tuesday, Chief Financial Officer John Murphy said the beverage maker is beginning to roll out Coke made with American cane sugar, but that it is limited by the US supply of cane sugar and its ability to ramp up production in glass bottles.
