I don't think there's much "agree" or "disagree." Most English speakers are at least bilingual. There are 232M English speakers in India. 79M in Nigeria. Etc.

But most native English speakers are monolingual, yes. The native countries are Canada, England, Australia, NZ, USA, and a few small nations (Liberia, Belize, etc.).

Of these, I think Liberia, Canada, and Belize (and other small nations) are the only ones with any significant number of bilinguals.
