neither of those reasons.
Steam says it is available to received in their country.
Not sure about trade bans, don't know how to check.
Steam says "Due to regional price differences, the gift you are trying to send cannot be sent to the recipient"

I think the restriction is only on gifting to more expensive regions. If you gift to cheaper regions it's a net win for Steam so why would they disallow it?

Only the "can't gift to a 10% more expensive region" is a rule. To prevent that someone in a cheap region buy a game, gift it to someone in a expensive region and get a small amount of money as payment for this "service" (a lot done this in the past and it hurted the income of the publishers and steam).
You can gift to any cheaper region because the publishers and steam earn more as when this person would buy it in their regional steam shop.

You're right, I tried buying a game to someone in a more expensive region (which is actually very difficult, I realised UK is easily the 2nd most expensive region on Steam after Switzerland) and it didn't let me, but it was fine with me sending it to somewhere where it's 50% cheaper.
Thanks, I thought it was up or down for years, made a few giveaways that were giftable and I put region locks to within 10% of my price..

I think there https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/LdzWR/cant-send-steam-gift-due-to-regional-differences
is the same problem as mine.
Should I request a new winner or whatever I can do?

Request new winner. You can't gift a game if it will be restricted.
You cannot gift from a cheaper region to a more expensive region. Like, I'm in EU, so I generally don't have issues with sending gifts/keys, but some friends might not be able to send one to me.

Because of regional pricing differences this can be an issue and with 9 copies you are in a pickle, i can't name sites due reasons but on certain reseller sites you can get a copy for 0.93 euro + fee, that's your best option or ask 9 people to have it deleted which can be an issue.

A workaround can be to give Steam items to your winners which they can sell for a net income that is more than their regional price of the won game. Then they could buy the game themselves from wallet funds and report the giveaway as received.
Do you have sacks of gems or valuable trading cards, skins, etc. in your inventory maybe?

Canadian USD Euro and GBP pricing is almost always within %10 of each other, where you run into problems are places that use their own currency like Switzerland and this is going to be an issue even for other europeans. GBP and Canadian are too far apart however. I've not once had a problem between CAD Euro and GBP as USD is right in the middle

I am from EU and i have a steam friend in US we gifted eachother a lot, especially him to me, i can remember 2 moments atleast where he couldn't buy me something. At one point $ and euro where almost 1:1 but i believe the differences are a bit more atm.

There are also simply certain countries like Germany who have different restrictions regarding which games can be gifted to and/or redeemed by their citizens.

Try https://gg.deals/game/clocker/ see if a key is for sale for the game

you can friend them and send the giftcard equivalent and they can purchase themselves, they will need to be on your friends list for 3 full days (72 hours) before you can send..
If you already have a key trying to send then you will need to ask them permission to delete.
edit: I usually ask them to send me the screenshot of the cost from their country so I can convert the proper $ amount

That's a great alternative! I assumed the same limitations would apply to steam giftcards. When it happened to me I proposed to supply TF2 items with value equivalent to the game they won that they could quicksell, but sadly they never used the Steam Market so we just agreed to have the GA deleted.
