One of the tricky things is that even if we became completely independent from Venezuela's oil, globalization would be such that if Iran and Venezuela closed their oil resources from the rest of the world, global oil prices would skyrocket and thus they would in the US too, even if we didn't get much at all of our oil from Venezuela.
So we really need to find a way to get off of oil completely, but such a technology or alternative resource would take decades to implement.
