He never says so, although it is certainly one possibility. Claudius is very cautious about diagnosing Hamlet's behaviour problem, unlike Polonius. Probably Claudius is worried that Hamlet may suspect the truth about the murder.

I suspect Claudius does not take young Fortinbras as a serious threat to Denmark. At Act 2 Scene 2, news of Norway from Voltemand would appear to be "good news", yet this diplomatic importance to the King plays second fiddle to Hamlet's health. Claudius does not promptly respond to this message and would wait/hesitate (much like hamlet) without taking prompt action: "Wasting time", as a nervous Polonius would interject The message when looked at closer from Voltemand's speech, suggests that Old Norway had arrested his nephew, briefly, yet given him 3000 crowns to employ his army previously levied. This is basically taking money out of the left pocket and putting it in the right pocket. I suppose a better question would be, "Should Claudius fear young Fortinbras?" Claudius publicly states to the court that young Fortinbras holds an arrogant view of Denmark, crippled by a pyrrhic victory. Instead of answering this young man directly, Claudius turns his attention to Old Norway and sends "dilated articles" (detailed instructions) on how to handle young Norway. I do wonder if those 3000 crowns was of Claudius' money. The fortified garrison watch would suggest so, yet no offensive manoeuvrings are planned from Denmark. Diplomacy seems to be the best course of action for the treacherous King. Does Fortinbras intend to conquer Denmark? Or reclaim the land lost by his father in battle in Poland? Does he come to Elsinore directly from Norway's lands, or on his way back from Poland? Where are the soldiers levied?
Fortinbras son of Fortinbras has sharked up some soldiers in the skirts of Norway to invade Denmark with a view to taking back certain lands which Hamlet father of Hamlet had taken from him. Claudius the King of Denmark is on to him, however, and gets Fortinbras's uncle the king of Norway to stop the invasion. In the meantime, Denmark is ready for the invading army should it arrive.

During the play Claudius mentions numerous times that Norway would likely attack Denmark. Before the play, Denmark had taken much land from Norway and Hamlet Sr (Hamlet's father) killed the Norwegian King (Fortinbras' father). Technically though, Norway never attacks Denmark, but the two can be considered to be on the brinks of war. It should be noted Norway does attack and take land from Poland during the play.
Claudius sends ambassadors to "Old Norway"to try to get him to calm young Fotinbras down. Fortinbras has sent Denmark a list of ultimatums, thinking they are weak from the death of Hamlet sr., or else he will wage war.
