Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has pitched a global plan that seeks to uplift about 750 million people who live on less than $2 a day, telling the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) the effort would be financed largely by wealthy people and corporations.In a speech at a UNSC session on Tuesday in New York City, Lopez Obrador said the plan could give the world’s poor “a dignified life” thanks to voluntary contributions from the richest individuals, corporations and countries.The left-wing president is on his second foreign trip since taking office three years ago, and was presiding over the council, where Mexico is serving a two-year term and holds the presidency this month.
