Short duration us treasury etf

I want to be in very short duration UST bills - almost cash. Say 1month to 1 year. Is there such an etf? The shortest I can find is CBU3 US 1-3 year t bonds.

I’m also certain there’s an etf that tracks “long US dollar short euro”, but cannot find it.

I believe that BIL is the most liquid T-Bill ETF although it is US-traded if that is a problem for you:

A 1-3 year duration would be T-Notes rather than T-Bills.

I am not aware of any Euro-denominated ETFs that invest in USD, which presumably would satisfy your desire to be long USD against the Euro. You could find a way of shorting FXE which is the US-traded ETF that invests in Euro cash.

AFAIK you can no longer trade US etfs through UK platforms because of lack of KID document compliance, otherwise yes i would buy it.

I can find EUS3 on Hargreaves Lansdown but that is 3x long USD short EUR, ETFS. I can find a long euro short USD etf on HL

Found the short EUR long USD etf, it’s quoted on LSE under SEUP.
