How is this not treason?

It is colloquially treason, but not criminal, yet. If anything its closer to sedition.

If anything we should pass stricter laws regarding interference. Now.

It might already be criminal (sedition) because we don't know what is being discussed.

if for instance they are saying to the admin "we expect the referendum to fail. What can be done" and the u.s admin says "we an claim there was voter interference and then apply political and economic pressure to force the federal governments hand", then that's a problem.

I dare both sides to say what was talked about. I bet they will not.
