Not enough information there to give a definite answer; but read the instructions for Form 2555 to see if he qualifies for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, which would likely wipe out all his US tax.
Morons. I've got MORONS on my team. Nobody is going to rob us going DOWN the mountain. We have got no MONEY going DOWN the mountain. When we HAVE GOT the money, goin' back UP the mountain, THEN you can sweat.

That is correct, Form 2555 is used to report FEI. But there is some more info that need to be disclose to determine how he/she is to be classified.
