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.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
