Coca-Cola 's announcement that it is releasing a cane sugar-based version of its primary soda — made with American sugar — has Louisiana sugar cane farmers excited, but not yet making plans to expand.

The cane sugar-based Coke will be offered alongside the standard Coke, which has been made for decades with high-fructose corn syrup.

Trump thought the addition of a new Coke variety, which won’t replace the regular corn-syrup version, warranted a presidential announcement.
