in Act I, Sc. II of "Hamlet," how does Claudius react to the threat of Fortinbras?

Claudius, in contrast to King Hamlet, is more a "lover than a fighter."  King Hamlet was a warrior king who probably would have gone to war against Norway. Claudius, however, sends two ambassadors to Norway, Voltemand and Corneliius, to negotiate with Norway's king.  They meet with success as Old Norway reins in Fortinbras by paying him money not to attack Denmark but, instead, to wage war against Poland.
