During his remarks at the House GOP retreat, Trump discussed the emergence of Chinese AI technology DeepSeek, saying it should be a "wake-up call" for American companies.

"The release of DeepSeek AI from a Chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser-focused on competing to win, because we have the greatest scientists in the world, even Chinese leadership told me that," Trump said.

He also cast the technology as an "asset" for how it could revolutionize technology due to its less-expensive method.

Trump said that he hoped American companies could come up with the "same solutions" without investing billions of dollars and repeated his promise to "unleash" American tech companies to "dominate the future."

Public health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been told to cease communications with the World Health Organization, an official with the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed to ABC News.

This comes after Trump signed an executive order on his first day of office ordering the withdrawal of the U.S. from the WHO. The U.S. is the biggest financial contributor to the global public health organization and public health experts immediately denounced the move as a risk to national security and pandemic outbreak prevention.

Any country's withdrawal from the WHO is supposed to be preceded by a one year advance notice, which experts interpreted Trump's executive order to serve as. But the recent order for CDC public health officials to immediately stop communicating with their WHO counterparts suggests that Trump is not adhering to those governing rules.

Trump said "in a little while" he will be signing four new executive orders addressing the military, during his remarks at a retreat of House Republicans at his Doral golf resort in Miami on Monday.

One will direct Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to "immediately begin" the construction of an "Iron Dome" missile defense shield, a nod to the Israeli missile defense system.

"We protect other countries, but we don't protect ourselves," he said.

Trump said his administration will also "get transgender ideology the hell out of military" and "stop our service members from being indoctrinated with radical left ideologies such as critical race theory."

Trump didn't go into detail, though the White House earlier Monday said that Trump is expected to sign an order directing the Department of Defense to update its guidance "regarding trans-identifying medical standards for military service and to rescind guidance inconsistent with military readiness."

The order will also end the use of pronouns in the Department of Defense and will also prohibit males from "sharing sleeping, changing, or bathing in facilities designated for females."

Another order that Trump is expected to sign takes aim at diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. The order will ban the use of "discriminatory race- or sex-based preferences," according to a fact sheet about the move.

Trump also addressed another order that will offer a "full reinstatement" to service members who were expelled from the armed forces due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The Senate on Monday evening confirmed Scott Bessent to serve as secretary of treasury by a vote of 68-29.

Bessent becomes the fifth member of Trump's team to be confirmed by the Senate, following Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe, Pete Hegseth and Kristi Noem.

The Senate is now taking a test vote on Sean Duffy's nomination to lead the Department of Transportation. He's expected to easily clear this procedural hurdle to tee up a final vote likely on Wednesday.
