It's not levying war against the United States. I don't know what the legal definition of Enemies is, but I would imagine it would involve a declaration of war.

The Korean war was never formally resolved, but the US hasn't declared war since WWII.
There's also no indication of adherence here.
Doing things that benefit a country and a leader that your government officically doesn't care for can be all shades of prohibited and illegal, but it's not treason.

- jcranmer 2y agoNo one has been convicted of treason since WWII. One person has been charged with treason, but they were remote-murdered by the US government before they were tried, and it's not at all clear that a conviction would have withstood appeal. Note that Congress did expressly pass a resolution in the Global War on Terror that can be construed as declaring war on terrorists; if anything short of outright declaration of war qualifies as a foreign entity as an "enemy" for the purposes of the treason declaration, that is it.
