SOCHI, Russia — Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Donald Trump for energizing American voters "tired of the elites" while continuing to deny that the Kremlin has sought to meddle in the United States election.

"Is America some sort of banana republic? America is a great power. Please correct me if I'm wrong," Putin said Thursday, speaking at the Valdai Club, an annual gathering of Russian and international world policy experts. "Does anyone really think that Russia can influence the choice of the American people in any way?"

"Trump has chosen his own way of reaching the hearts of the voters," Putin said. "He is acting extravagantly, but not so pointlessly."

"He represents the interests of the part of the society tired of the elites that have held power for decades," he added. "He is representing the common people, and he is acting like a common guy himself."
