Coca-Cola CEO gifts Trump commemorative Diet Coke bottle; highlights company’s economic contributions. Limited bottles for inauguration events planned.
Coca-Cola Company chairman and CEO James Quincey presented President-elect Donald Trump with a commemorative bottle of Diet Coke ahead of his inauguration.
Trump’s preference for Diet Coke is widely known.
According to a Coca-Cola spokesperson, this gift reflects the company’s tradition of creating special bottles for U.S. presidential inaugurations since 2005. Quincey also highlighted Coca-Cola’s economic contributions during the meeting.
The commemorative bottle is noted as the first-ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle.
Coca-Cola, with over 60 bottling partners, generates $58 billion in U.S. economic activity and supports 860,000 jobs each year, which Quincey emphasised as part of their commitment to the nation’s economic future.
The Trump team was contacted for a statement, but no response was received.
Coca-Cola has indicated that a limited number of these Diet Coke bottles will be distributed during inauguration events, but they will not be available for public sale.
In a past article from The New York Times, it was suggested that Trump consumes up to a dozen Diet Cokes daily.
Trump has previously tweeted about his relationship with Diet Coke, notably stating in 2012 that he had “never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke,” while later expressing a lack of concern about Coca-Cola’s opinion on his commentary regarding their product.

Zelenskiy blames Moscow for stalling Geneva peace talks; negotiations to resume amid unresolved eastern territory and nuclear power plant disputes.
Two days of high-stakes negotiations in Geneva have ended without a breakthrough, as Ukraine and Russia failed to reach an agreement on key issues in the ongoing war. Despite international pressure, both sides walked away without a deal.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Moscow of deliberately stalling United States-mediated peace efforts, while Russia signalled it would not accept terms it sees as unfavourable. The White House says further talks are expected.
Major sticking points remain over territory in eastern Ukraine and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with both sides rejecting proposals that would involve significant territorial concessions.

Iran strengthens military and nuclear sites amid US carrier presence, escalating fears of confrontation and internal dissent pressure.
Iran is ramping up military readiness as tensions with the United States intensify, with Tehran fortifying key nuclear sites and reviewing defence strategies amid the deployment of U.S. aircraft carriers in the region. Leaders in the Islamic Republic say they are prepared to respond to any imposed conflict, signalling a high-stakes standoff that could reshape regional security dynamics.
At the same time, the regime faces mounting domestic discontent, with security forces cracking down on dissent and carrying out widespread arrests following recent protests. While Iran insists it has made concessions toward a nuclear deal, Washington says key demands remain unmet, leaving negotiations in limbo and the country’s political future under strain.
