President Donald Trump’s push for Coca-Cola to make its signature soda in the U.S. using cane sugar has already hit a snag, according to a new report.

Trump, a known fan of Diet Coke, announced in July that he spoke with Coca-Cola about “using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so.” American Coke is typically made with high-fructose corn syrup, while Mexican Coke — which is imported from Mexico and packaged in glass bottles — uses cane sugar.

Coca-Cola Chief Financial Officer John Murphy told Bloomberg the company has started to produce Coke made with American cane sugar, but that it will only be available through a limited roll-out at first, due to supply chain issues. “It’s going to be a measured roll-out,” Murphy said. “There is only a certain amount of cane sugar available in the United States.”
