Can I claim Charitable gifts in Canada as an itemized expense on my 1040? Or since I don't have Canadian income, am I not eligible to deduct those?

Hello!  I am posted in Canada on a U.S. Govt job so I derive income from the U.S. only.  I'd like to give charitable gifts of money to charities in Canada that would qualify as a charity by the IRS.  Can I claim those gifts as an itemized expense on my 1040? Or since I don't have Canadian income, am I not eligible to deduct those?

Thank you very much!
