[CNN] President Donald Trump announced what could be refreshing news to some Americans on Wednesday: thanks to him, Coke is changing its American recipe.

"I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola," Trump said in a post to social media. "This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!"

A spokesperson for The Coca-Cola Company did not confirm the change, but told CNN in a statement, "We appreciate President Trump’s enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon."

FWIW, Trump drinks Diet Coke, not regular Coke. Also, the sweetener in regular Coke is currently made from USA grown corn.
Jamaica would presumably be a beneficiary of the 'use cane sugar' rule. Before Passover, Coke regularly makes a lot of cane sugar sweetened Coke for orthodox Jews who don't use corn on Passover.

#2 ^A matter of habit. When I lived in US (well NM, but it's the same thing), it took me time to get used to cane sugar (and I never got used to adding sugar to meat dishes).
