The foreign tax may qualify for a foreign tax credit since it is based on income. However, you can only use the foreign tax credit to the extent you pay US tax on the foreign income. So, unless you have other foreign income on your tax return, the foreign tax credit would be suspended until a year when you had foreign income that was taxable on your US tax return. The IRA income would not be taxable until you took a distribution.
