Maybe. If you meet the following requirements, then you can take the Student Loan Interest Deduction. Even if your student loan is being paid to a lender in another country.

The school you attended participates in the Department of Education student loan programs
You are attending school at least half-time
You are seeking a degree, certification, or participating in another qualified program
You are not claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return
You are legally obligated to repay the loan
