No, you don't need to exclude it per se... you still enter the income here though.
Have you had foreign earned income in the past? Did you exclude?
Once you choose to exclude your foreign earned income or housing amount, that choice remains in effect for that year and all later years unless you revoke it.

Just be sure that you make the right decision about that.
