Trump is obsessed with "not having a country left". 4-5 years ago he was saying the same about the US - if Biden becomes president, we will not have a country left. So in his worldview, the US is not a country for many years now. Cheer up Zelensky, it turns out not having a country left is not so bad.Trump attacks Zelensky in a post, calls him a dictator

How USAID Funneled $21 Million To India For 'Voter Turnout'
The newly created US Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE has been auditing several government agencies in the US and cutting wasteful expenditure.

People in the US government are not confused, it's most likely just that the Trump team tried to convert the funding list items into outrage news headlines and didn't care about how accurate they were.
You must have heard about that "50k $ for trans play in cambodia" or something like that, that again was actually given to some university as a general grant, and the uni just happened to have a trans play.
In the case of this NGO they most likely looked up on its website what it generally does and gave it to Trump to read.

Who Is Veena Reddy, Ex-USAID India Head At Centre Of "$21 Million Fund" Row
A day after US President Donald Trump repeated that his predecessor Joe Biden approved a $21 million grant via USAID for "voter turnout in India," the ruling BJP and the Congress have engaged in a heated exchange over the matter.
www.ndtv.com
100% of Bangladesh is part of the Indian subcontinent, so that doesn't contradict the later news that it was Bangladesh. We can't really expect accuracy, exact record-keeping, and truth in declarations from the US (or any other country) for such spends. There are way too many incentives to lie: news headline generation like @roadrash99 is saying, satisfying the voters, personal glory, even the interests of the country he's the president of. Truth is a very distant priority. So I won't be surprised if there are more twists and turns to this story.

Of course they will say that because Wall St. is anti Trump.
According to them anything Trump says or does can lead the US into recession or doesn't make economic sense

Though I'm aware that this article is designed to make uneducated people think that this article is relevant to the question about whether the $21 million went to India or Bangladesh, while not addressing the subject directly. But better news sources have addressed it directly, so we don't need to worry.

Non profits are by law required to have records for their financials. This is not some top secret CIA stuff. No doubt US does that kind of covert stuff too, but they will not do it openly like with USAID. This is just a Trump generated hoax that all the media houses in India and even our government are falling for which is sad to see. Here is one of the annual reports of CEPPS with detailed income and expenses

We know the US does soft coups around the world and has been doing so for long.
So if things become undesirable in the US they can do the same thing too. Can't overthrow leaders in the US but you can create all manner of obstacles so they don't enter office and if that fails hound them with bogus charges throughout their term

Yes, by "such spends" I mean specifically the secret part of operations affecting regimes of other countries. Whether the infrastructure of USAID is used for that, or not - we can only speculate and infer. By definition of "secret part", USAID's or US government statements will not be reliable about it.

Nice, covert stuff done overtly. I wish all advertisements were done secretly.

That's for sure
And that is the main reason DOGE is doing forensic audit of these various orgs. Inaccurate record keeping if not worse.
Also if all this info is already public then how come DOGE is making these things public like something new was discovered?
See, that is not how a government org (any government org) should be run.

Whether that particular 21m went here or there isn't much relevant. If it went one place, others were going somewhere else too.
And it would be epitome of naivety if someone was wiling to think that US wasn't interfering in India.
More, Trump has again confirmed 21M went India and 29M went to Bangladesh.
7th Feb : Trump stopped USAID, it's a setback to India. Modi's foreign policy failed.
19th Feb : See this, BJP also got money through USAID
21st Feb : What money? Nobody in India received money through the USAID. This news is fake.

Nothing forensic about what DOGE is doing, they are just cutting US government programs with a chainsaw, in their own words. All this justification you hear about 21mn going to India etc is just the PR justification for it.
Yes this was always public knowledge but what actually gets discussed in media is decided by politicians and their actions. You can go to internet archive yourself and see that the details of all this expense was always there.
And $21mn is a miniscule amount. India spends 5x more than that in Maldives and BD every year, even now to what people say are a hostile anti-India governments. - https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/doc/eb/sbe29.pdf
If India couldn't do anything with its money in these two countries than how why this USAID spend is a big deal. Honestly you will not even be able to turn Municipal elections in a tier 1 city with $21mn.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mast Exposes Outrageous USAID and State Department Grants
Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast released the following video exposing radical, far-left grants issued by the State Department and United States Agency for International Development under the Biden administration.Democrats and unaccountable bureaucrats don’t want Americans to know how their hard-earned tax dollars are being wasted abroad. Chairman Mast is here to set the record straight.
Several egregious examples include:
$15 million for condoms to the Taliban through USAID.
$446,700 to promote the expansion of atheism in Nepal through the State Department.

$14 million in cash vouchers for migrants at the southern border through the State Department.
$20,600 for a drag show in Ecuador through the State Department.

$32,000 for an LGBTQ-cantered comic book in Peru through the State Department.
$55,750 for a climate change presentation warning about the impact of climate change in Argentina to be led by female and LGBT journalists through the State Department.
$3,315,446 for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean” through USAID.
$7,071.58 for a BIPOC speaker series in Canada through the State Department.
$80,000 for an LGBTQ community centre in Bratislava, Slovakia through the State Department.
$3.2 million to help Tunisian migrants readjust to life in Tunisia after deportation through the State Department.
$16,500 to foster a “united and equal queer-feminist discourse in Albanian society” through the State Department.

These Are The Top USAID Recipients—From Religious Groups To Major U.S. Companies—As Trump Targets Agency
USAID offices were closed Monday after Trump last week ordered a 90-day freeze of foreign aid and Elon Musk said Monday the administration was working to shut down the agency.
www.forbes.com
Biggest recipient of USAID is Catholic Relief Services, which is a Christian organisation also active in India, that received 4.6 BILLION $. You will not hear this in the news though because most Trump supporters are Christian.
So what you hear in the media is carefully selected to paint a certain narrative.
They are active in India, wondering whether Indian side of that organization receive any monies ?
