The planets are always moving as they orbit the sun, so this answer keeps changing. For example, when Uranus and Neptune are on the same side of the sun, and Jupiter is on the opposite side, then Uranus and Neptune would be closest. However, if Neptune were on the far side of the sun, then Uranus and Jupiter would be closest.

When Uranus and Neptune are at their closest, they're separated by (rough numbers) about 9 AU. When Uranus and Jupiter are at their closest, they're separated by (again, roughly) 13 AU. However, while Uranus and Neptune can be closer together than Uranus and Jupiter can, they can also be further apart.
