(CNN) Less than two weeks before his scheduled trip to Denmark, President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he has postponed his visit to Copenhagen after the Danish Prime Minister disputed his interest in buying Greenland as "absurd."

"Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time," he wrote Tuesday night.

He continued, "The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!"

Frederiksen said Wednesday she received the news that Trump had postponed his trip to Denmark with "regret and surprise" and "had been looking forward to the visit."

She called the visit "an opportunity to celebrate Denmark's close relationship with the US who is one of Denmark's closest allies." She also reiterated many times that "this does not change the character of our good relations."
