I work as an employee at the consulate of foreign country but I have to pay taxes in the US. Can I take the deduction QBI?

On this income, probably not. The QBI deduction is not eligible on Foreign-source income. Although your income is still taxable in the United States, the income must also be derived from the United States to qualify for the Section 199A deduction.
