18 I.S.C section 2381:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
It effectively requires that the US be at war with another country.
This is why the Rosenbergs, for example, were convicted under the espionage act rather than for treason.
Trump far more likely to have violated the Espionage Act, if he communicated information related to the national defense.
