It depends. I am not sure how you are interpreting the standard deduction in this case. The US standard deduction has nothing to do with calculating the Foreign Tax Credit. Every bit of income rather foreign or domestic is reported in gross income amounts that have nothing to do with the standard deduction.
I think what you are referring to are deductions you report in completing your foreign tax credit section. If you report deductions here, all this does is decrease your foreign tax credit. Unless you specifically have these, you would leave this section blank. These deductions, when reported, are only used in the calculation of the foreign tax credit and are not reported anywhere else in your return.
Let us know if this helps.
