US date format is closest to what you get with a calendar. A calendar is MM-YYYY-DD and US is MM-DD-YYYY.

What's this so-called the "UK/EU format" you refer to, to my knowledge it doesn't exist. Every country does its own thing, and within many countries it varies… including your own. See ==>>

A few newspaper datelines:
The Times — Monday August 14 2023, 2.00pm BST
The Guardian — Mon 14 Aug 2023 23.00 BST
The Telegraph — 14 August 2023 • 9:28pm
Gazzetta di Mantova — 14 Agosto 2023 (worlds oldest)
Le Monde — August 13, 2023, at 6:01 pm
FAZ — am 14.08.2023-20:51 (weird)
The only way to write a date unambiguously is to write the year in full, and write the month as an alpha character string, and the order is irrelevant.
