Boeing Co., which has almost doubled its capacity to turn passenger jets into freighters since the pandemic began, is considering adding even more as demand for air cargo extends into 2022.

The Biden administration said that new trade tools are needed to confront China, which for two decades has failed to keep promises to pursue market-oriented policies that it made to join the World Trade Organization.

The U.S. is continuing conversations with China despite Beijing’s failures to abide by a trade agreement reached during the Trump administration, but that process could soon come to an end, according to people familiar with the matter.
