Statement I is true as the trend of billion-dollar mergers and takeovers has been observed worldwide. Statement II is also true as the trend of increasing bigness through merger and acquisitions is likely to continue, which could potentially result in large corporations being considered multinationals, regardless of their national origin. Therefore, both statements are true.
