What is the DFT of $x(2n)$ if you know the DFT of $x(n)$?

Suppose $X(\omega)$ is the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a sequence of arbitrary complex numbers $x(n)$. What is the DFT of a new sequence $x(2n)$?

Here is my thinking:

The DFT of $x(2n) = $ $$ \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x(2n)e^{-j \omega n} $$

But at this point I am stuck. Somehow the answer is $X(\frac{\omega}{2})$
