In June 2018 Barbados announced the default on its bonds, after revealing that its debt amounted to $7.5 billion (the fourth highest debt in debt-to-GDP ratio in the world).[12]

“A North American island country in the Caribbean’s Lesser Antilles region, Barbados exported US$345.2 million worth of goods around the globe in 2020. That dollar amount reflects a -36.4% drop since 2016 and a -22.3% decrease from 2019 to 2020.

The latest available country-specific data shows that 83.1% of products exported from Barbados were bought by importers in: United States (13%), Jamaica (8.2%), Guyana (7.6%), Trinidad and Tobago (6.8%), Saint Lucia (4.9%), Canada (4.4%), Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (3.5%), France (3%), Antigua and Barbuda (2.9%), Grenada (also 2.9%) and United Kingdom (2.5%).
Given Barbados’ population of 287,000 people, the total $444.1 million in 2020 Barbadian exports translates to roughly $1,500 for every person living on the Caribbean island.

Will the Queen send troops to put down the rebellion for independence from the Crown?

If they can declare independence, why can’t Taiwan?
