Earth's average distance from the Sun is 1 AU and eccentricity 0.0167 so the minimum distance is 0.9833 AU.

Venus's average distance is 0.7233 and eccentricity 0.0068, so the maximum is 0.7301 AU, but that does not necessarily line up with the Earth's minimum.

The difference between the Earth's minimum and Venus's maximum is therefore 0.2532 AU or 37.88 million kilometres, which is the closest possible approach, but if and when that will happen, someone else can answer.

It would have to be when the Earth is a its minumum distance, in December or January, so look for inferior conjunctions in those months. The one in January 2014 was quite close.
