Trump: Make Coca-Cola Great Again
Donald Trump claims credit for Coca-Cola’s switch to cane sugar, risking undermining subsidised U.S. corn growers and conflicting with public health policies from his own administration. | Today’s Political Cartoon.
Donald Trump has claimed credit for convincing Coca-Cola to replace corn syrup with cane sugar, despite sugar tariffs enacted by Reagan-era Republicans.
His boast will clash with public health goals promoted by his own administration and risks undermining America’s corn industry, which benefits from heavy federal subsidies. Another case of Trump fizzing up contradictions.
