The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has been involved in various activities aimed at influencing and destabilizing foreign governments under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights. This includes funding NGOs in Ukraine, attempting to undermine the North Korean government, and supporting pro-US forces in countries like Mexico and Cuba. NED has also been accused of manipulating elections, inciting divisions, and fabricating misinformation to sway public opinion against targeted nations. Criticism of NED has emerged from both American politicians and the international community, highlighting its role in violating sovereignty and promoting US interests abroad.
