Can I deduct monthly administrative fees charged by a foreign bank?

I have a foreign bank account that earns interest.  (I know the foreign interest is taxable in the US.)

The foreign bank also charges a monthly fee.

 

Can I deduct the foreign bank's monthly fee?  Or can I enter it as some kind of expense?  

If so, where in TurboTax can I do so?

 

The monthly fee is not considered a foreign tax.  It is simply an administrative fee.

The foreign bank account is not used for a small business.  I am not self-employed.
