No, the US cares very much about Venezuela's oil.

Yes that is a significant part of it. They also wish Venezuela's agricultural industry functioned because they were a significant food producer before Chavez' reforms gutted that sector.

Personally I just want El Rey's Venezuelan chocolate because I can be fairly sure child slavery wasn't involved in the production of it and it was amazing.
