		</div><p>GCHQ – Britain’s electronic espionage agency – has dismissed fresh claims it spied on Donald Trump’s presidential election campaign as “utterly ridiculous”.</p>
<p>The US president highlighted a claim by a former CIA analyst that British intelligence assisted the administration of Barack Obama by spying on his 2016 run for the White House.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>In a trademark tweet, Mr Trump added: “WOW! It is now just a question of time before the truth comes out, and when it does, it will be a beauty!”</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/3AAA3CCC-EB4E-44EA-93A0-2F51DC1DA590.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-130811" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/3AAA3CCC-EB4E-44EA-93A0-2F51DC1DA590.jpeg" alt="" width="1083" height="544" /></a></p>
<p>However GCHQ responded by referring to a statement it issued when similar allegations surfaced in 2017 dismissing the claim it was asked to conduct “wiretapping” against the then president elect as “nonsense”.</p>
<p>“They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored,” the statement said.</p>
<p>The row erupted the day after it was announced that Mr Trump would be making his long-awaited state visit to the UK in June.</p>
